With his former royal roles removed, the palace confirmed that he will now be known simply as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, a change that has officially been reflected on the royal family’s line of succession page.
Although updates were quickly made to remove Andrew’s profile and biography from the family website, his listing on the line of succession page initially remained unchanged, still referring to him as the Duke of York. As of November 26, the website finally updated this and now identifies him as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Position in the line of succession remains unchanged
Despite losing his royal titles, honors, and public duties, Andrew, 65, remains in the official order of succession.
As the second son of Queen Elizabeth II, he was born second-in-line to the throne, directly after his older brother Charles. Over time, as Charles welcomed children and grandchildren, Andrew moved further down the list. He is currently eighth in line, sitting behind Prince Harry’s children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
