King Charles Strips Andrew of Last Royal Titles
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who used to be called Prince Andrew, is the brother of King Charles and son of the late Queen Elizabeth.
King Charles has taken away his last royal titles, which were the Order of the Garter and the Royal Victorian Order.
These titles were given to him in 2006 and 2011, but now they have been taken away.
Andrew might also lose his title as a vice-admiral in the Royal Navy.
All of this is happening because Andrew was friends with a man named Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of doing very bad things.
Andrew has also been asked to leave his home, the Royal Lodge, where he lived for many years.
This is a big change for Andrew, who used to be a prince but is now a commoner.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, has been stripped of his last royal titles by King Charles.
The titles removed include the Order of the Garter and the Royal Victorian Order.
Andrew's name has been erased from the registers of these orders, effective October 30.
The Royal Navy is considering removing Andrew's vice-admiral title.
Andrew was evicted from the Royal Lodge, where he lived for over 20 years.
