Facing sexual abuse allegations related to Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew has lost his royals titles. Here’s why that matters.

Although he is technically still known as Prince Andrew, for example he is no longer allowed to use “His Royal Highness” in any official capacity. He was no longer a Colonel of the Royal Irish Regiment, or the Yorkshire Regiment, or the Royal British Army or the Small Arms Corps, or the Lossiemouth of the Royal Air Force. It is not immediately clear whether “title” includes “title”, but if so, then Andrew is no longer a Knight of the Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, or even a Royal Knight of the Order. Garter’s noblest.
