Prince Andrew has voluntarily stepped back from using his royal titles, including the Duke of York title, due to ongoing controversies surrounding his past association with Jeffrey Epstein. According to royal expert Sharon Carpenter, the title will not immediately be transferred to another person. Under current royal succession rules, the Duke of York title follows male-line inheritance.
Since Prince Andrew doesn't have a son, the title cannot be passed directly to his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Instead, the title will likely return to the Crown upon Andrew's death, at which point King Charles III could potentially grant the title to another member of the royal family. Carpenter emphasized that Andrew's decision to stop using his royal titles is primarily a symbolic gesture for now.
This development follows Andrew's withdrawal from royal duties in 2019 after intense public scrutiny regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
