The Ministry of Defence is working to remove Andrew Mountbatten Windsor remaining ceremonial military position under the guidance of the King, the defence secretary has announced.
The minister confirmed King Charles had "made clear this is his preference".
Andrew, who was lost his princely title on recently, maintained his naval rank in the UK naval forces after surrendering his other military positions in the previous year.
"This is a move that's right, it's a move the King has indicated we should take and we are currently addressing this matter," the defense secretary stated to a Sunday news program.
Historical Perspective
- The Duke previously held several ceremonial roles
- UK maritime services customarily awards titular appointments to royal household figures
- Current circumstances have prompted review of these titles
