Andrew Mountbatten Windsor no longer appears on the official roll of the peerage, marking a key step in formally removing his titles.

Buckingham Palace said his name had been struck from the roll after the King took the dramatic decision to formally strip his brother of his Prince and Duke of York titles and HRH style, a move that effectively ends his public life.

Andrew’s peerage has been removed from the roll

Dukes, including the Duke of York, are listed on the roll of the peerage maintained at the Crown Office and, as Lord Chancellor, David Lammy is responsible for maintaining it.

Mr Lammy, who is also Justice Secretary, was due to be sent royal warrants by the King to strike the Duke from the roll, as well as his Prince title and HRH style. The subsidiary titles are similarly affected.

It is not clear when the move to strike Andrew from the roll took place.
