King Charles III's decision to strip Andrew Mountbatten Windsor of his prince title is a move that Queen Elizabeth II never would have made. "This must have been a painful decision for the King - this is his brother, after all," royal author Christopher Andersen told Us Weekly exclusively after news broke on Thursday, October 30, that Charles had begun the formal process of removing Andrew's titles and evicting him from his home at Royal Lodge. "Charles must know how much booting Andrew out of the royal family would have hurt his mother, the late queen," Andersen added.
