As Nellie and another poster already have stated the designation of York was only for the unmarried princesses. Since their marriage it was dropped they are now HRH Princess Beatrice, Mrs Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and HRH Princess Eugenie, Mrs Jack Brooksbank.
Both are since birth princess of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. Their style went from of York to Mrs xxx upon marriage. The same happened to HRH Princess Alexandra. She went from of Kent to Mrs Angus Ogilvy and later lady Angus Ogilvy after her style of HRH the title princess and her first name. Previous Message
A BBC podcast today mentioned B & E as princesses of York, but to me more likely would be them to remain - like the late princess Mary Louise - princesses "of nothing"...
Furthermore I feel that it would have been wiser to give Andrew some money to buy a villa in Spain or Portugal, instead a house at Sandringham. As far removed from the crown as possible... Previous Message
James … Pss Patricia of Connaught had her HRH and Princess of YKoGB&NI removed by LP in 1919 prior to her marriage to Alexander Ramsay … it’s certainly happened before ( though voluntarily) In 1937 George VI denied HRH to the newly married Duchess of Windsor , of course not the same as removal but equally serious .

Here's the link where I read of this latest news on the title removal - it does quote part of the BP announcement. I doubt it will be debated, but I can't think of a precedent in history because all previous title removal discussions have been about a nobiliary title given through an LP and not a princely style which by right of birth was always his. Also - regarding those two daughters - they derive their style from their father's identity as a prince so if he in fact is no longer to be that, then how on earth are they still "princess"? By what right or precedent? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-31/prince-andrew-to-leave-royal-lodge-lose-title/105955534 Previous Message
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? Previous Message
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 .
