The Royal Family's website showing the line of succession has now been updated to reflect the removal of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's titles. Buckingham Palace announced that Andrew would no longer be known as the Duke of York on October 17, with all of his remaining titles and honours stripped.

Three days later Andrew's title was removed from his profile page on the Royal Family's website, a decision taken to reflect the loss of his York title following the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. It later emerged on October 30 that Andrew would no longer hold his princely title.

Until recently, Andrew was still listed as eighth in line to the throne as 'Duke of York', just behind Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

However, now with his public life over, the website has finally been updated and the entry appears as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

His profile page was removed at the start of November, with the message, 'The requested page could not be found', when you try to click on royal.uk/the-duke-of-york.

Andrew could be set to face another blow as a council votes for a road name change in a Northern Ireland town.

It has been reported that councillors in Mid and East Antrim have voted to change the name of a road called Prince Andrew Way, Carrickfergus.

Due to their connection to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew and Sarah Ferguson will soon leave their 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor.

Much like her ex-husband, who she remains close to, Sarah Ferguson has also been stripped of her York title.

Where Andrew and Sarah will live after their move out of the Grade II listed home remains unknown.
