Andrew can no longer participate in centuries-old custom after losing all titles

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was reportedly met with quite the change when he visited Windsor Castle for the first time since having his titles stripped.

For those who need a reminder, King Charles III took action last month by taking away all of the former prince and Duke of York's titles and honours, as well as serving notice for him to move out of his home, the Royal Lodge.

Buckingham Palace's statement on 30 October read: "His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.

"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease, and he will move to alternative private accommodation.

"These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

"Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse."

It comes after new damning allegations about his relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, along with assault accusations from the late Virginia Giuffre, which he has continuously denied.

And according to reports, just weeks after the bombshell decision was made, Andrew returned to Windsor Castle and lost even more of his royal privileges.

From 'customary bows' to 'having meals sent over,' he's allegedly lost out on a whole host of luxuries he was used to.

According to The Express, the Daily Mail’s Ephraim Hardcastle wrote: "It's all change at Windsor Castle. On his first visit since his title defenestration, the former prince was not saluted by guards.

"The customary bows he was offered at every turn (and woe betide anyone who forgot) have disappeared. Some even relished calling him Mr Mountbatten Windsor, instead of Your Royal Highness."

Hardcastle then went on to outline a specific food privilege that's reportedly been withdrawn, writing: "But there was worse in store for the fallen HRH. His privilege of having meals sent over from the Castle, a Royal Deliveroo, has been withdrawn."

The latest development comes just after it was revealed that Andrew's name may be changing yet again.

This is because, although the official removal process was completed last week (6 November), officials at Buckingham Palace have since examined a rule decided upon by the late Queen Elizabeth II, known as the 1960 Privy Council Declaration, and made a further change.

It's petty, but the Privy Council declaration outlined that royals without titles would be known as Mountbatten-Windsor, with a hyphen.

When asked about the absence of a hyphen when the name was first announced, a palace spokesperson said: "Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was the name agreed."

However, as we say, royal sources have now confirmed that, going forward, Andrew will use the punctuation mark between his two last names, making it Mountbatten-Windsor, not Mountbatten Windsor.
