Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew,\u00a0has made his first public appearance since being stripped of his royal titles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mountbatten-Windsor, 65, attended the christening of his granddaughter Athena, the daughter of Princess Beatrice, Friday morning at St. James\u2019 Palace\u2019s Chapel Royal.<\/p>\n

The sighting also comes as new photos emerged from Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s personal collection<\/a>, including pics of Mountbatten-Windsor, Bill Gates, President Donald Trump, Woody Allen and more hanging out with the late convicted sex offender.<\/p>\n

The images were discovered from Epstein\u2019s email account and computer, according to Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.<\/p>\n

Back in October, King Charles III officially stripped his brother of all remaining royal titles amid the\u00a0ongoing scandal regarding his ties to the late pedophile<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew,\u201d Buckingham Palace told Page Six in a statement at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

In late October, King Charles III officially stripped his brother of all remaining royal titles amid the\u00a0ongoing scandal regarding his ties to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Getty Images<\/p>\n

The title removal applied to Prince, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh and \u201cHis Royal Highness.\u201d The honors affected included his Order of the Garter and Knight Grand Cross of the Victorian Order.<\/p>\n

As for his living arrangements, Page Six was told Mountbatten-Windsor would vacate the premises \u201cas soon as practicable,\u201d with the latest possible move-out date reportedly being Jan. 31<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We were told he would relocate to a property on the private Sandringham estate, while his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson \u2014 who has lived with him at Royal Lodge since 2008 \u2014 will make her own arrangements. Her Duchess of York title was also removed.<\/p>\n

Charles\u2019 decision, which we were told had the support of his son Prince William, came after \u201cserious lapses of judgement\u201d shown by Mountbatten-Windsor, whose daughters \u2014 Beatrice and Princess Eugenie \u2014 retained their titles.<\/p>\n

While Charles \u201cinitiated the process,\u201d we were told his brother did not object.<\/p>\n

Earlier in October, Mountbatten-Windsor\u00a0agreed that \u201ccontinued accusations\u201d against him<\/a>\u00a0and his connection to Epstein \u201cdistract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal family.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wrote in a statement, \u201cI have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, he added, \u201cWith His Majesty\u2019s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Mountbatten-Windsor had already agreed to no longer use his titles and honors, Charles initiated the formal removal process.<\/p>\n

Mountbatten-Windsor, notably,\u00a0was stripped of his military titles<\/a>, royal patronages and the use of \u201cHis Royal Highness\u201d in 2022, three years after\u00a0stepping back from his royal duties<\/a>\u00a0after a headline-making interview regarding his ties to Epstein.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre \u2014 who\u00a0died by suicide<\/a>\u00a0in April \u2014 sued Andrew for sexual assault, which he denied. They settled out of court the following year.<\/p>\n

There is renewed interest in Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s relationship with Epstein due to the recent release of Guiffre\u2019s posthumous memoir,\u00a0\u201cNobody\u2019s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew,\u00a0has made his first public appearance since being stripped of his royal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":628609,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[173775,14932,92242,36011,2204,518,5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-628608","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-andrew-mountbatten-windsor","9":"tag-celebrity-families","10":"tag-celebrity-siblings","11":"tag-family-feuds","12":"tag-jeffrey-epstein","13":"tag-king-charles-iii","14":"tag-royal","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115707547683643137","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=628608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628608\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/628609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=628608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=628608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=628608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
