Andrew suffers blistering new humiliation as poll shows where public stands on King's move

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formally known as Prince Andrew, has faced further humiliation today as the public have backed King Charles' decision to formally strip him of all royal titles. In a statement by Buckingham Palace last night, it was confirmed that the monarch, 76, had "initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew".

It was also confirmed that the former prince would be leaving his 30-room Royal Lodge home in Windsor. A new YouGov Poll today of 4739 adults has found that 79% of Britons think the King has made the right decision when it comes to this action, which comes after Andrew has been involved in various scandals surrounding his previous association with the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew has denied all accusations against him.

While the King seems to be supported by the public when it comes to his decision regarding his brother on Thursday, many think this action was taken too slow.

In the YouGov poll, 58% of Brits felt the Royal Family have moved too slowly in dealing with the controversy.

Meanwhile, 21% of those asked believe the royals moved at about the right speed when taking action against Andrew.

The poll also found that 53% feel the King has done all he can to separate the royals from Andrew, especially by removing all his titles.

The full Buckingham Palace statement on Thursday, October 30, read: "His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.

"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His 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. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

"Their 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."
