“THE KING has directed that the appointment of Andrew Albert Christian Edward MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR to be a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, dated 19 February 2011, shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order.”
One Honor Remains — For Now
At present, Andrew retains just one notable title: his vice admiralty in the Royal Navy. He received this honorary military rank in 2015 for his 55th birthday. Unlike his royal honors, the authority to remove this one lies with the UK government.
Labour’s Defence Secretary, John Healey, has previously stated that the government would “work to remove” the final title.
Delayed Exit From Royal Lodge
Meanwhile, Andrew is reportedly continuing to push back his move out of Royal Lodge, said to be due to difficulties downsizing from the massive 31-room mansion. Although he was originally expected to vacate the Windsor property early in the new year, The Sun reports that February is now more likely.
