Prince Andrew is stripped of his Prince title and his home

You beat me to it.

Remember the sentence "a wombat is an animal that eats roots and leaves". So different to "a wombat is an animal that eats, roots and leaves". All that is different is the comma.

we used to get that sentence as an example in Shorthand and typing in school...

I wonder if he'll grow a beard, wear huge dark glasses and adopt a strong regional accent? ;)

Will he forego all the fancy, posh cars, get a bicycle, join a working mens club and nurse a pint of beer at the bar while playing bingo?
Oh yes, there is so much fun ahead of this geezer. 😊

His life will not change radically, that's the actual truth of it. In fact now at his age.. he'll be happier not having to trot around the globe representing the royal family.
Now he can just wait for invitations from the high and mighty, to their parties, and sporting events..and never have to be nice to the Hoi Poiloi

There's no question that Charles will not ensure whatever home Andrew ends up in, it will be furnsihed to the highest standard ...
 
I don't understand how they could take the title "Prince" away from him. He is the son of the Queen. Take everything else away but I don't get the loss of the title.
 
If I had a say I would take all away from him and just let members of the family who still care for him throw him titbits - but remember to some extent they are still attempting to set good examples to all the incoming children and that won't always be easy - "who is dear uncle Andrew and what did he do that was so awful?"

It's complicated.

There are two sides to the Monarchy. There is the side that is independent of Parliament (our elected officials). Then there is the side that is, ultimately, controlled by Parliament. Removal of a title, such as Prince, is the former. It is a matter for the crown, and not parliament. In essence, royals get to decide by something known as the "royal prerogative".

When it comes to whether he is still in line for hereditary succession, then Parliament needs to be involved.
