King Charles spotted for first time since disgraced Prince Andrew gave up titles

King Charles has been snapped heading out in public for the first time since Andrew gave up his titles. The UK monarch was spotted heading out as a passenger in a dark car.

Disgraced Andrew had to forfeit his royal titles after it was revealed he had lied about cutting ties with Jeffrey Epstein. The King reportedly reached "tipping point" with his brother over the sex abuse scandal and carried out negotiations this week.

It is understood that Prince William and other members of the royal Family played a role in the final decision that Andrew would give up his titles.

Andrew, after being "forcibly pushed onto his sword" by the King, gave up his Duke of York title on Friday, October 17.

Now, two days later, the King has been seen arriving at Crathie Kirk church near Balmoral for the morning Sunday service.

Calls for the monarch to also strip Andrew of his prince title are being made, and it is understood that Prince William will ban his uncle from his coronation and Christmas gatherings once he is king, The Sun reports.

Insiders claim that William is not happy with the disgraced royal giving up his title, and it is likely the "Andrew problem" will continue.

In regards to Andrew's daughters, Beatrice, and Eugenie, royal sources said that they will remain princesses in the same way he remains a prince - titles they are born with.

The removal of Prince Andrew's titles would have an impact on the princesses' rights to use their titles, and therefore, it is claimed that the King was "protecting" his nieces by not stripping Andrew of his.

Despite Andrew receiving marching orders, he will be allowed to continue living at Royal Lodge in Windsor, due to his "cast-iron" tenancy agreement until 2078.

Though it is understood that the King and his eldest son want to get the former duke out of the mansion, which is just a few miles from Windsor Castle and half a mile from Prince William and Princess Kate's new home, Forest Lodge.

Andrew was made Duke of York on the day of his wedding to Sarah Ferguson on July 23, 1986. The title was given to him by the late Queen Elizabeth II, and royal experts later claim it was good that the late Queen didn't live to see Andrew's downfall.
