It is a relief to see our media finally referring to "Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor" rather than piling-on titles and pomp.
It's about time this approach was the standard across our society. No more "sir" or "lord" or "prince" or "king". Everyone using their names as a society of equals.

The fate of Andrew is another reminder of how power and wealth has been allowed to make people unaccountable and treat the law as optional.
His loss of titles is seen as the ultimate accountability - but real accountability would see him face a court room.

Stripping Andrew of the title 'prince' is colossal, says the BBC's royal correspondent Sean Coughlan.

Will Lloyd’s New Statesman essay doesn’t just criticise Prince Andrew, it exposes the system that shields him.
The monarchy has learned how to protect its own interests, not ours.
True democracy means no inherited privilege, no secrecy, and no one above the law.

Unelected power is dangerous.
When leadership is inherited rather than earned, it puts society, justice, and democracy at risk. Power without accountability protects privilege, not people.
It’s time to end unaccountable authority and build a fairer system where power serves the people.

This bill seeks to give Charles the power to unilaterally revoke titles.
It should not be in the hands of a Monarch who does and does not keep their titles - it should be our democracy. Better yet, we should scrap the system of royal titles entirely.

In addition to retaining the "prince" in his title, Prince Andrew remains (very aptly) a 'Vice' Admiral in the Royal Navy and also remains eighth in line to the throne.

A very British absurdity, that you can apparently release a press statement saying you are "no longer using your titles", and simultanously sign it "Prince Andrew." Mr Mountbatten-Windsor would surely do.

The Royals should kick out Andrew, and strip him of the title of Earl of Inverness, a city too long stained by association with his name.
Then we should kick the Royals for standing by him for so long and attempting to rehabilitate him, among every other reason we should be rid of them.
