    This is an empty gesture, it’s not worth reporting as news without including the various caveats the reveal the truth of the matter:

    • He retains the title “Prince Andrew”
    • He retains the title “Duke of York” because it requires state action to strip him of it.
    • His children’s lineage will not be affected.
    • He states he is no longer “using” the title.
