I doubt he will be. The title has been given to the Monarch's second son for hundreds of years - and he's still the Queen's second son.

[Redhelen72]

Whilst he has been stupid - I don't really agree with this course of action being levelled against Andrew.
He did not do anything illegal, he has not had a trial.
If he is guilty of anything its pure stupidity and bad taste.

[douglas9401]

Not the same need for a trial when there's a bottomless pit of money to be used sorting something that nobody did to no-one.

[gulliver1]

Think Andy has done enough Stripplng.

[Redhelen72]

He has been found guilty by media

Not while Liz lives. Charlie may take it from him but, given Naomi's post, who would he give it to?

[Peter Pedant]

// given Naomi's post, who would he give it to?//
naomi is right - but not for that reason

Denning discussed this in his judgement on the common market application 1972.
Sum fings ( sorry speaking down for ABers) are for ever
Denning asked if the Independence of India Act were repealed, would India go back to Empire of India ( it would not he helpfully answered. Thank God people dont read what I write)

what about honours - can you unknight someone, undub him. well you can now because it is built in.... and so he went on - honestly I havent read it for 50y - with honours and titles

A dukedom is forever. What about Royal Titles Act 1917 - did they deprive or just say " thou shalt not use..." - The german holders of various royal titles

// Charlie may take it from him but, given Naomi's post, who would he give it to? //

it's not the gift of the crown to strip a duke of their title. as a dukedom is effectively a peerage, that can only be done by an act of parliament. the last time that happened was in 1917 - a by-product of WW1.

[Peter Pedant]

Jowett (LC) had supported David ( the old Edward VIII tthat is readers and royal watchers) in his contention that ex-king he went back to what he was ( HRH, as the Prince of Wales) and so he and his wife were HRH
private opinion 1937
THEN in 1953 Jowett became LC ( Lord Chancellor silly! gawd!) and David ( HRH that is! a/c to Jow-jow) wrote saing what about it
AND Jowett said ..... erm this is all in the hands of the sovereign. As the fount of all honours...

which was lordy lawyerly for ( chancery speak) No, Nope

God knows
well dont if you have got down here

[Peter Pedant]

thank you mushy
anything on anthropologists on what anthropologists do?
Looksa tho I am going to have to re read the 1917 act

[Peter Pedant]

as child of a sovereign doesnt he get an automatic doo-dah, monniker? HRH - that was Jowett's point

[Ken4155]

Okay, so the answer is 'never'.

[youngmafbog]

Correct Ken.

[Ken4155]

I'd have expected TTT to know that:-J

[youngmafbog]

I'm pretty sure he does. But does the council in the OP's story?

[davebro]

As for the article - he is being called upon to relinquish the title (before being stripped of it). Can he do that? Or maybe just stop using it.
Maybe he could change to (revived) Duke of Windsor.

[youngmafbog]

or Duke of Woking :-)

[Gromit]

It is plain that Yorkshire doesn’t want him. So the Queen should reclaim the title, so that on her death, King Charles can bestow the title on his second eldest child - Prince Harry, Duke of York.
Or maybe not.

[youngmafbog]

//It is plain that Yorkshire doesn’t want him//

No and Sussex doesnt want Ginge & Cringe. Unfortunately it doesnt work that way.

Still think Ducke of Woking would be best for him, he could be presented at the Woking Pizza Hut.

[Ken4155]

"Ducke". You been watching Gene Hackman in The Quick And The Dead :-))
