Stunning developments today as Prince Andrew, favourite son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, has been stripped of his title of Prince, and will subsequently be known as plain Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. Had the man wished to make lucrative after dinner speeches to cater for the gullible American market, this option has probably been closed off to him now, and for the remainder of his life he will remain languishing in a small property on the Sandringham Estate, which befits his new diminished status.
As a matter of interest, it is far more difficult to denude Andrew of his dukedom, which falls under the law of property, specifically incorporeal Hereditament, rather than in the gift of the sovereign of the day. Fortuitously for the Establishment, Andrew has no male progenitor, so the title of duke upon his death will revert back to the Crown. A warning is contained therein for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who may well be forced to relinquish their titles in a similar vein when nephew William ascends the throne as William V, though this may require an Act of Parliament. William would, however, retain the power to strip his brother and nephew, His Royal Highness Prince Archie, of the HRH and Prince title, meaning any son of Archie would become His Grace rather than Prince, him being a great-grandson of the current monarch.
