William Plans to Strip Andrew of His Royal Title After Report He Was With 40 Women in 1 Night: ‘Something Needs to Be Done'
Prince Andrew is getting more and more on Prince William's bad side as more details come out about the Duke of York's promiscuous and controversial past. A source told The Telegraph in a report published on August 5, 2025, that William knows 'something still needs to be done' with Andrew, and he has a plan for his disgraced uncle once he becomes king. That plan includes banning Andrew from his coronation, removing his Order of the Garter, and stripping him of his 'Prince' title, which will require legislation.

With William it will be a different approach—he has hard-nosed ideas about how the Royal family needs to appear in the frenzied social media world we now inhabit, and I think will be ruthless,' royal biographer Christopher Wilson told the publication. Another source explained that, while William has plans to remove Andrew's 'Prince' title, it may be more difficult than fans think. 'If there was a serious move to take [a title] away, particularly at that level, you do it through both houses [of Parliament],' the insider said.

One story included the claim that more than 40 women were once brought to Andrew's hotel during a stay in Bangkok in 2006 when he traveled to Thailand to represent the crown at the King of Thailand's diamond jubilee. 'Hotel staff were used to foreigners bringing in girls, but amazed that more than 10 a day were going to Andrew's room,' Lownie wrote. 'Often, as soon as one left, another would arrive,' a witness told the author. Tension between William and Andrew also come after British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News in May 2025 that the Prince of Wales has had a 'grudge against his disgraced uncle' for some time and plans to exile him from the British royal family when he takes the crown after his father King Charles' death. 'Prince William has long had a strained and distant relationship with Andrew,' she said. 'Andrew's future within the royal family is beyond bleak, since Prince William is firmly opposed to any public rehabilitation with no foreseeable path back. He wants Andrew to vanish from public view.'

Prince no more? How William could strip Andrew of his title
The mechanisms open to a future King William to go further are more extensive than is generally reported. He has the option to decline to invite his uncle to his future Coronation. It would be headline news, but there is a precedent: the Duke of Windsor was excluded from both George VI and Elizabeth II's in the rather different circumstances of living in exile after abdication. A king can, in certain circumstances, remove the Order of the Garter, which is in the monarch's personal gift. Parliament has greater powers – it can remove the Dukedom via legislation. A private members' bill to 'give the Monarch powers to remove titles', mooted in 2022 after the people of York argued they did not want to be associated with the Duke, fell flat. But a government bill to do the same job would doubtless fare much better. Should another attempt, with the heft of the government behind it, be more successful, Prince Andrew's name could eventually be struck off the Roll of the Peerage where it is currently listed under 'York'. In any case, the disgrace now associated with Prince Andrew makes it all but certain that his Dukedom will fall into abeyance when he dies. Upon his death, the title the Duke of York will revert to the Crown. It would customarily be bestowed on the monarch's second son, where the time is right. But a grown-up Prince Louis is far more likely to become Duke of Edinburgh. In agreement with the Palace, Prince Andrew has already stopped using the style of His Royal Highness. But that can be removed via Letters Patent – an ornate but relatively straightforward document issued on the advice of ministers and signed by the king. One such Letters Patent, issued by George V in 1917, decreed that 'the children of any Sovereign of the United Kingdom and the children of the sons of any such Sovereign and the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales' shall be called Prince or Princess, with the HRH style. Thus Prince Andrew, the son of a monarch when he was born, is a Prince. But, should it be considered necessary, a new Letters Patent could change that, too. But, says a source, such a 'big deal' would best happen through legislation. 'If there was a serious move to take [a title] away, particularly at that level, you do it through both houses [of Parliament],' they added. None of this, one source emphasises, can be done at the whim of a king; the government is required to take action. But whether it is King Charles acting out of necessity in the near future or his son deciding to lance the boil in years to come, the combined brains of Buckingham Palace and Downing Street could find a way. 'Is it likely at this point?' one source says. 'No. But is it possible? Yes.' One way for this to come to a head now, suggests Wilson, would be if MPs raise questions about Prince Andrew's time as a trade ambassador, in the context of examining potential misuse of public funds. Any serious findings would mean 'Charles could act in the best interests of preserving the monarchy'. 'The Royal family is in a fragile state,' he adds. 'Arguably in worse shape than during the Abdication when at least the problem got solved fast. 'Here we have seen a terrible shredding process going on, which downgrades our principal institution and sooner or later will render it an international laughing-stock unless something is done, quickly.' For a Royal family on their summer holidays, renewed headlines about the Duke of York could not be less welcome. The conversations over the Balmoral breakfast table could get interesting.

Kate Middleton and Duchess Sophie Nail This Timeless Trend At Recent Outing
There's no denying the royal family knows how to dress—especially when it comes to big, traditional events. But just because the occasions are steeped in history doesn't mean the fashion has to feel dated. Case in point: Kate Middleton and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, who both turned heads at the Order of the Garter service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor on June 16. The Order of the Garter is basically the OG of British honors—aka the oldest and most prestigious chivalry tradition in the U.K. Every year, it's marked with a regal procession and ceremony. And what did Princess Catherine and Duchess Sophie show up in? Effortlessly chic, monochromatic looks—and let's just say, the timeless trend has never looked better. YUI MOK/POOL/AFP via Getty Images The Princess of Wales attended the event in an outfit that actually may look familiar as it's one she wore before: a Cream Tailored Bouclé and Chiffon Midi Dress by Self-Portrait. The dress features a structured blazer-style top with a partially sheer lace skirt and retails for $570. She paired it with vintage pearl accessories, including a 1980s faux pearl necklace by Susan Caplan and pearl cluster earrings that added just the right amount of glam. Meanwhile, Sophie opted for a soft pastel pink moment, wearing a 1940s-inspired Suzannah London midi dress with long sleeves, a tie waist and an elegant v-neckline. She completed the look with a coordinating wide-brim hat, nude heels and a blush-toned clutch. The monochromatic trend is a royal favorite—Princess Catherine has done it time and time again, from that all-camel moment with Prince William to her striking burgundy outfit that took over fall fashion headlines. And it's not just a royal thing. Celebs like Kerry Washington, Reese Witherspoon and Demi Moore have all embraced the power of a single-color outfit. Safe to say: monochrome is here to stay. More of this energy, please. Keep the coordinated fits coming, ladies. Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox? Click here.
