The Spin

Narrative A

After years of scandal and denial, Prince Andrew's past has finally caught up with him. His eviction from Royal Lodge and loss of his "Prince" title mark a long-overdue reckoning. King Charles was left with no choice but to act, forced by public outrage and moral necessity. The monarchy is at last siding with Epstein’s victims over Andrew’s excuses — a symbolic moment of accountability for a man who brought shame to the royal name.

Narrative B

King Charles has shown unprecedented resolve, taking the ruthless but necessary step of stripping his brother of every royal title. This decisive action underscores a new era of accountability and integrity within the monarchy. Acting swiftly and within his Royal Prerogative, the King protected the institution’s dignity while sparing his nieces from the fallout. It's a historic and courageous move — proof that no one, not even a royal, is above consequence.

Narrative C

While politically and socially significant, this latest decision should not be interpreted as proof of guilt. Institutions often act preemptively to protect their reputations, especially under public pressure, without a judicial determination of wrongdoing. Until proven otherwise in a court of law, Prince Andrew remains entitled to the presumption of innocence.

Spiked

Establishment-critical narrative

Renaming Andrew Mountbatten Windsor does nothing to deliver real accountability. The Royal Family let him evade consequences for years, and this scandal highlights systemic failure at the top. Changing titles won’t protect victims or ensure justice — only releasing the full Epstein files and facing hard truths can. If any sense existed, the monarchy itself should be abolished, ending a centuries-old institution that shields privilege while betraying accountability.
