30.10.2025 โข The Day Andrew Was Stripped of Titles
โจUK media began the day reporting on President Trump's and Xi Jinping's trade talks, with an agreement on tariffs and rare earths emerging in the morning. Concurrently, Chancellor Rachel Reeves' admission to unlawfully renting out her London home garnered significant attention, with calls for her resignation and a potential ยฃ38,000 payout to tenants. By the early afternoon, reports surfaced of Prince Andrew facing private prosecution over sexual assault allegations. In the evening, the dominant story became King Charles's decision to strip Prince Andrew of his 'prince' title and revoke his lease on Royal Lodge, effectively making him Mr. Mountbatten Windsor. This development was widely covered as a direct consequence of the Epstein scandal and earlier pressures on the Royal Family.
