Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is a disgraced royal formerly referred to as Prince Andrew, Duke of York. He was stripped of his standing and titles after evidence of grievous misconduct was linked to him amidst the release of the Epstein files.

In the latest news about the ex-Prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was featured prominently in the Saturday Night Live UK debut on March 21. During the Weeknd Update segment (a staple of the original American series) host Ania Magliano began her opening salvo with the following segment, clearly referring to Windsor.

“Coming up on Weekend Update: pedophila. But first, war!”

Then, after pivoting to other topics, the hosts circled back to Andrew, and this time the jabs were clear,

“Renovations to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s new home, Marsh Farm, have been taking place over the last month, including installation of Sky TV. So, if you’re watching Andrew, hello! You’re not going to like this next bit. Also, I’m older than I look.”

She continued,

“Andrew’s new residence, Marsh Farm, is of course named after the nearby marsh where his body will be found.”

Her co—host, Paddy Young, then chimed in,

“It was reported this week that the police investigation into Andrew is set to widen. The big question now is, if Andrew is charged, found guilty and put in prison, will he be able to keep his mouth shut? I hope not said his cellmate’s p****”

It’s clear that the UK public has no sympathy for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, whose past has clearly caught up to him.


Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's stone to be replaced at Alloa

In other news concerning ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the BBC reports that Councillors in Clackmannanshire have voted to remove a stone slab dating back to his 2002 visit to Alloa. Initially, the commemorative piece was to honor Windsor's opening of Parliament Way in November of that year.

The motion was set forth by Ellen Forson, the council leader, and supported by her councillors, who agreed to a proposal to replace the slab with a memorial for Sir George Reid. The former Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament passed away in August 2025 and was born close to Alloa in Tullibody in 1939.

As per the BBC, Forson had the following comments on her decision,

"For me, it is a straightforward issue about who and why we choose to recognise in our shared civic spaces. I believe it is appropriate that the existing reference to the former Prince Andrew is removed.”

She added,

"Adding a slab that commemorates George Reid is about recognising his contribution but also, in moving forward, we are ensuring that what we choose to commemorate are people who are important to Clackmannanshire.”

It's unclear what's next for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
