ANDREW FORMALLY STRIPPED OF REMAINING TITLES – The King formally annulled his brother’s membership of the Order of the Garter 

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been formally stripped of his last remaining royal titles.

The King formally “cancelled and annulled” his brother’s membership of the Order of the Garter in an official announcement at midday on Monday in The Gazette, the country’s official public record.

The former Duke of York’s title as a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order was also annulled, and his name was “erased” from the register of those holding the honours.

He was already stripped of his birthright to be a prince, the title of His Royal Highness (HRH) and had his Duke of York title removed from the Roll of the Peerage by the King for his “serious lapses of judgment” over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted paedophile.

The Order of the Garter is the country’s oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry and the honour is awarded in recognition of public service, with recipients personally chosen by the monarch.

The Royal Victorian Order recognises service to the monarch and is also awarded personally by them.

The former duke has for many years faced allegations that he sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre, a teenager at the time, after she was trafficked by Epstein. He denies the accusations.
