I'm suspicious. The Royal Family wouldn't do something like this as a first choice so I think some evidence surfaced or something is on the way that prompted this as a response.
Can it be related to Epstein? I hope so. Trump needs to eat this crow.

Is he still reciving money for literally no reason then or does that go away with the titles?
Also, can we now call him the child rapist formally know as Prince Andrew? Or is he still a Prince?
He needs a symbol, like TAFKAP (The Artist Formerly Known as Prince), but I fear the symbol would be something no one should see.
Holy shit, this just reminded me of the episode of Celebrity Deathwatch where (formerly) Prince Charles fought The Artist Formerly Known As Prince
TAFKAP (The Artist Formerly Known as Prince)
I think it would be more fitting to replace "artist" with... Well, a number of options apply here.
The Monarchy should be abolished. And the House of Lords while your at it.
Am I not understanding things? I thought the monarchy had no governmental power.
Legally, not much. In reality, they have significant influence. For example: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/07/revealed-queen-lobbied-for-change-in-law-to-hide-her-private-wealth
A large part of what you see in the media has already been wheeled and dealed.
They're still a bunch of leeches that think they've been personally selected by god.
They apparently have the authority to fire all of Australia's parliament. -If I understand correctly, Australia has also not had another government shutdown since, either.
The UK monarchy have no such power under Australia's Constitution.
Constitutional duties
The Governor-General has specific constitutional and statutory powers. The Governor-General acts on the advice of Ministers who are responsible to Parliament (and ultimately, through elections, the Australian people).
Key constitutional duties include:
- Presiding over the Federal Executive Council
- Facilitating the work of the Commonwealth Parliament and Government
- Dissolving Parliament and issuing writs for a Federal election
- Commissioning the Prime Minister; appointing Ministers and Assistant Ministers; and swearing-in other statutory positions
- Holding and possibly exercising the Reserve Powers.
Under the Australian Constitution, the only action performed by The King is the appointment of the Governor-General (on the advice of the Australian Prime Minister).

The crown still plays a role in Canadian politics unfortunately.
The day the crown exercises any power in Canada would be the last day we have a Monarch.
And the Governor General who has the power to dissolve the government is…?
Edit: also they’re littered all over our legal tender.
Mary Simon, a Canadian citizen and an indigenous person (Inuk on her mother's side) who was chosen by Queen Elizabeth for the role on the advice of then prime minister Trudeau.
While the role has formal diplomatic ties to the monarchy, it is a Canadian who holds it and the prime minister who really selects them (in the guise of advising the crown on who to select).
Of course the monarchy has diplomatic power here (all the rich and powerful do) but the governor general isn't really an example of the crown being able to issue us orders or the like.
They still get paid lots of public money and the monarch has no legal obligation to pay tax
Don't get too excited: the titles have NOT actually been stripped, he has simply "agreed not to use them."
From further down the page:
For context: Prince Andrew's statement earlier said he had taken the decision, with the King's agreement, to no longer use his titles. Stripping him of his titles would require an act of Parliament - a legal mechanism last used following the First World War.
and further down still:
As a reminder, Prince Andrew has voluntarily decided to stop using his titles. He will remain a prince as it is a title from his birth, as the son of the monarch, with the titles he has since lost only given to him later in life
The nonce formerly known as Duke of York also remains eighth in line to the throne.
He should just give up his life. That’s what needs to happen.
Perfect timing.. just read this pretty rough article myself yesterday:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/15/prince-andrew-virginia-giuffre-abuse-epstein-maxwell
This just makes me so sad. Imagine your abusers staying in power and being the most influential persons in the world. Just makes me wanna burn it all.
Then stop calling him prince it's just Andrew the pedophile.
