Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has had his name stripped from commemorative plaques in the Falkland Islands after losing his royal, it has been reported by UK media.
The former prince and Duke of York lost his titles earlier this month over his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Mountbatten-Windsor fought during the two-month-long Falklands War against Argentina, serving as a helicopter co-pilot in 1982.
He returned to the UK as a hero and returned to the islands several times to unveil public memorials and buildings.
Now, several plaques which once bore his name have been removed after the King stripped him of his titles, according to the Mirror.
One of the plaques was believed to have been unveiled by Andrew in 1985 to open the Mount Pleasant airport. Another was placed in 2002 during the opening of a new block at the Infant Junior School in Stanley.
A third tablet at the Falklands KEMH Hospital was removed in 2022 after Mountbatten-Windsor reached an out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre, who claimed he had sex with her while Epstein was trafficking her. He has consistently denied these allegations.
As well as losing his royal titles, Mountbatten-Windsor also lost some of his military titles. He will be stripped of his last remaining military title, the honorary rank of vice-admiral, which he was awarded on his 55th birthday.
He was allowed to keep the South Atlantic Medal, which he received for his service after the war.
