The Duke's removal from the final remnants of royal life has not only reshaped his future - it's sending ripples through his immediate relatives too.
The former spouse has now surrendered her ducal status and will simply be known as Sarah Ferguson.
For Ferguson, sixty-six, the change will be the most visible.
Throughout this period, she has maintained the honorary royal post-marital designation Sarah, York Duchess. Now, she reverts to her maiden name of Ferguson.
"She will have lost a certain prestige over this," noted one royal commentator. "She definitely does use the title – including her Twitter bio is @SarahTheDuchess."
But the relinquishment of her status may impact her much less than the scandal she's dealing with independently about her own links with Jeffrey Epstein.
Last month, several charities removed her as ambassador after an email from over a decade ago showed that she called Epstein her "supreme friend" and seemed to apologise for her public criticism of him.
Separate from her philanthropy, Ferguson also has multiple commercial enterprises.
And these ventures, are more likely to be affected by the Epstein scandal than any change in title, says one monarchy analyst.
But Ferguson has been a remarkable endure in royal circles. She's kept recovering strongly.
"She is the supreme perseverer and expert at transforming," said one royal author.
For Andrew and Sarah's two daughters, Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, there's no official alteration.
They will still be referred to as royal princesses, which they have been granted since their birth.
Additionally there is no modification to the line of succession.
The prince stays eighth in line to the crown, followed by his children Beatrice and Eugenie, in ninth and twelfth position in that order.
But in practice their positions are "low down" and will likely become even more remote as years pass.
The princesses are also presently non-official royals, and while they occasionally accept positions – The younger princess was recently named as a mentor for the King's Foundation network – commentators also suggest they "don't envision a scenario" in which they would advance into official responsibilities.
"Regarding Beatrice and Eugenie are concerned, I think there's an appreciation of the reality that this scandal doesn't involve them, and it's not fair for it to impact them directly in the separate paths they are carving out for themselves," explains one monarchy analyst.
"The princesses are most unfortunate affected parties, they've had to suffer in silence and have been dignified in their reserve," adds another monarchy writer.
Ultimately, there seems to be minimal uncertainty that the person who will be most affected by these developments will be Prince Andrew himself.
For someone who always liked the trappings of royalty, the pomp and the pageantry, the loss of his titles is deeply humiliating.
Therefore lacking these, on a individual basis, will really matter.
