Former British prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor no longer appears on the official roll of the peerage, marking a key step in formally removing his titles.

Buckingham Palace said his name had been struck from the roll after Britain's King Charles III took the dramatic decision to formally strip his brother of his Prince and Duke of York titles and HRH style, a move that effectively ends his public life.
