Is this finally rock bottom for Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor?
After weeks, months, years and even decades of scandals, all the titles and privileges of the former Prince Andrew have been completely removed.
There are no modern precedents for such a colossal loss of royal status.
Unlike the previous statement on his future, this was from Buckingham Palace rather than Andrew himself.
It’s a ripping off the bandage moment, which the Palace will hope will finally draw a line under the endless oil slick of bad news stories about Andrew.
The sliver of dignity given to him, that he was voluntarily choosing not to use his titles, has been taken away.
Titles such as Duke of York, the Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh will be forcibly removed.
All that remains is his place in the line of succession, and new guidance from the House of Commons Library has shown that too could be removed by Parliament, if Commonwealth realms give their consent.
After more than a year of pressure, the so-called Siege of Royal Lodge is over, with Andrew losing his independent lease and moving to the King’s estate in Sandringham. It’s not revealed where exactly, but it’s not Wood Farm.
Sandringham is privately owned by the King, ending any reliance on a Crown Estate property.
