Disgraced royal and Jeffrey Epstein pal Prince Andrew will no longer be a prince and will have to move out of his Royal Lodge home, Buckingham Palace announced Thursday.

The late Queen’s son will have his title stripped and now be known as “Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,” the Palace said in a statement provided to BBC News.

Andrew will also be forced to vacate his taxpayer-subsidized royal home of more than 20 years.

It comes amid renewed pressure on the royals in recent months, following fresh allegations that Andrew maintained ties with convicted pedophile Epstein years after he claimed to have severed communication.

While the statement doesn’t name Epstein or go into the allegations against Andrew, it did allude to his sex scandals.

“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,” the Palace statement reads.

Andrew will move into a property on the Sandringham Estate, privately funded by King Charles, according to the Palace.
