I did. I found the 30th October 2025 statement from the royal family saying they had “initiated a formal process” to do so, and Andrew’s corresponding one agreeing not to publically use the titles, but nothing since. So what am I missing?
When did that actually happen? Last I saw, he was just agreeing not to use them publically
He was born 2nd in line, now he’s about 8th in line
So still in line for the throne. He’s 8th because other people were born ahead of him in the succession, not because the monarchy demoted him or something
I do wish that the news would stop calling him ex-Prince or ex-Duke until he actually is one. He just agreed to stop using the titles, he still has them. < Edit: Andrew actually was stripped of said titles in November 2025, though remains in line for the throne. > He’s still in line for the fucking throne. Don’t pretend that the monarchy has done more than it actually has here.
Also, though, good
To be fair, Europe gets a bit overrepresented in that regard because it can send loads of athletes as separate countries. To take the men’s mass start speed skating final as an example, ten of the sixteen competitors were from the EU, but it would only be allowed to send two as a single country
On the other hand, Norway alone beat everyone of course, and European countries are eight of the top ten on the medal table
