News banner from the Torygraph saying Andrew and Sarah are losing their titles. They will be ‘put into Abeyance’ Andrew also to lose the Order of the Garter. Sarah will be known as Sarah Ferguson, he retains ‘Prince’ as he is the son of HM QE2.

bloody good job !

Whats the purpose of it, what does it achieve or mean?

Cynic17 · 17/10/2025 18:40

I have a vision of Princess Anne finally losing patience, getting on the blower to Andrew and giving him a bollocking, and telling him to agree to lose the titles etc for the sake of his King, and the memory of his beloved mother.
Who could resist her when she lays it out straight? 😂

Zippedydodah · 17/10/2025 18:41

About bloody time!
Lownie’s book clearly shows who a repugnant pair they are, and their daughters aren’t far behind.

I thought he'd already lost his titles. Obviously I pay close attention to thenews about disgraced Royals!

Good. Next stop, all evidence of financial wrongdoing to the CPS.

Im keen on her, she should have more of a role but then she also has had her moments, didnt she have a few speeding incidents and her dog attacked someone?

Not in the same league of course.

Sagaciously · 17/10/2025 18:45

I really hope this is true and we get shot of Andrew and his ghastly ex-wife.

And let the FBI interview him (if they still want to).

Fat finger typos.

Well thats why I asked really what difference it makes in reality. Surely they're already redundant as any role or influence or status?

What difference does the title make, does it reduce their income or something?

Christmas is coming up, they can get some part time work

Oh she won't like being plain old Sarah Ferguson 😁

SpottyAardvark · 17/10/2025 18:51

The Torygraph wouldn’t be going big on this story if they hadn’t been briefed by very good sources. Andrew obviously had this coming, but it’s a gentle slap on the wrist in comparison with what he has coming when William becomes King. By all accounts, William can’t stand his uncle & will be quite happy to throw him to the wolves.

Traceysgoingtobelivid · 17/10/2025 18:51

It’s only something the King is considering according to the Independent, it’s not actually happened.

I thought she already was - because they're already divorced?

Exactly

It would send a huge message that his / her behaviour is not acceptable

seeing them parading around with privilege and power is insulting

without the titles / order of the garter they will still have power and privilege but it will be less of a rubbing our noses in the immorality of that

not confirmed. And actually don’t believe KC has the 🥎 to do it

Flixon · 17/10/2025 18:57

No, it’s not ! I took a screenshot (above) because I want it to be true and I’m afraid it’s not !

Has anything happened like this before?

Because scandals have happened throughout thousands years of history of rotten royals and idiots and I dont know if they lose their titles. They just plotted in the background in those days

Traceysgoingtobelivid · 17/10/2025 18:58

It’s only an option at this point apparently.

She’s still the duchess - what a joke !

TheAutumnCrow · 17/10/2025 18:59

I think the Government would be very happy re the China spy scandals if Andrew goes along with ‘abeyance’.

I think it may have added to the pressures on Charles.

Flixon · 17/10/2025 19:00

She’s Sarah, Duchess of York rather than The Duchess of York. Hopefully she will so be neither …

Now on the BBC!

socialdilemmawhattodo · 17/10/2025 19:02

I think the membership of the order of the garter is restricted, so effectively he was blocking someone else as he is no longer "allowed" to do that role. So that is important ceremonially. But his title removal? Payback for not moving out of the lodge when asked nicely to do so. And further confirmation that he maybe royal but no longer involved, ever or at all.

I do wonder if the posthumous VG bibliography has been a final final straw.
