Will councils etc rename streets etc named after Andrew MW, when he was a prince?

Firstly decide what to replace the name with? It's a pain of informing the Royal Mail who then pass on their database to various companies.

Plus if you are selling your home and live on a road named after AMW as a prince, nobody wants to know due to the address

The only other Prince Andrew was AMW's paternal grandfather

Just had a look on Royal Mail postcode finder - there are a few 'Prince Andrew' streets, courts, drives, roads and closes (possibly others I didn't think of looking up). Assuming they are named after AM-B rather than another Prince Andrew from history, I imagine it may well be an urgent item on the next council meeting agenda of the authorities concerned!

There's a few if you put Prince Andrew into Google maps.

Google suggests about 4. This is really not a big deal

Are there any? I’d be surprised

Are there honestly that many? I can see it's unfortunate if you're trying to sell a property on Prince Andrew Avenue right now though.

'Prince Andrews Close' is worse
