It is also being reported that the move to the Sandringham estate "will be privately funded by the King." Really? If so, how is that different from living on a peppercorn rent at Royal Lodge?
.... further thoughts.... if it's true Andrew is no longer invited to Christmas at Sandringham, doesn't it make it rather awkward that he will now be living just a mile or so away?

My understanding of the "formal process" is that it will require an Act of Parliament to remove the titles.
I also understand there was some discusson of this a few years ago, that would have allowed the monarch the ability to do this, but that those discussions did not pan out.
My questions to anyone are:
1 - Would both the House of Lords & House of Commons vote on this?
2 - How long would legislation like this take to go through? Also, I'm assuming that Beatrice & Eugenie will retain their titles and status, and that Andrew will still retain his place in the line of succession - would that be correct?

OMG!!!
HMTK has removed his style and title of HRH, Pr of the YKo GB& I…

As of this second I have not read nor researched anything ! More to follow … by everyone ! I do once again suggest a precedent was set when George V removed said styles etc for Pss Patricia of Connaught , plus the denial of HRH to the Duchess of Windsor, plus denial of HRH for divorced wife’s of Princes of UKoGB&I all of which were issued via Letters Patent by the current monarch . Right now I am wondering if HMTK has issued a new LP or just a BP press release (?which has the same affect as Nellie pointed out recently )
I wonder where Mr Mountbatten - Windsor fits in in the table of precedence , he’s still the son of a monarch and brother of the current monarch, he should still rank above the Edinburghs?? Let’s see how fast the UK tabloid media stats to demand the same for his daughters .
