Prince Andrew's removal from the last vestiges of royal life has not only reshaped his future - it's sending ripples through his family too.

Fergie's Title Change

The former spouse has now surrendered her ducal status and will now be referred to as Sarah Ferguson.

For Sarah, sixty-six, the change will be the most apparent.

Throughout this period, she has maintained the honorary royal post-marital designation Sarah, Duchess of York. Currently, she reverts to her maiden name of Ferguson.

"She has lost a bit of cachet over this," noted one monarchy expert. "She definitely utilizes the title – including her social media profile is @TheDuchessSarah."

But the relinquishment of her status may affect her much less than the scandal she's dealing with independently about her own connections to the convicted financier.

Recently, several charities dropped her as ambassador after an email from over a decade ago showed that she referred to Epstein her "supreme friend" and seemed to apologise for her public criticism of him.

Business Ventures and Charity Work

Away from her charitable activities, Ferguson also has multiple commercial enterprises.

And these ventures, are more likely to be impacted by the Epstein scandal than any change in title, notes one monarchy analyst.

But Ferguson has been a great survivor in royal circles. She's kept bouncing back.

"She is the ultimate survivor and expert at transforming," said one monarchy writer.

The Daughters

For the couple's two daughters, Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, thirty-five, there's no official alteration.

They continue to be known as princesses, which they have been entitled to since birth.

Additionally there is no change to the royal succession order.

The prince stays eighth position to the throne, followed by his daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, in ninth and twelfth position respectively.

But in practice their positions are "low down" and will likely become much further down as years pass.

Future Prospects

Beatrice and Eugenie are also presently non-working royals, and while they occasionally accept positions – Princess Eugenie was recently named as a mentor for the monarch's charity network – commentators also say they "don't envision a scenario" in which they would step up into royal duties.

"As far as Beatrice and Eugenie are concerned, I think there's an appreciation of the fact that this controversy doesn't involve them, and it's not fair for it to affect them personally in the separate paths they are building for themselves," says one monarchy analyst.

"Their daughters are particularly unlucky victims, they've had to suffer in silence and have been composed in their reserve," adds another monarchy writer.

Ultimate Consequences

In the end, there seems to be little doubt that the individual who will be most affected by all of this will be Prince Andrew himself.

For a man who consistently enjoyed the trappings of royalty, the pomp and the pageantry, the loss of his titles is profoundly embarrassing.

Therefore lacking those, on a individual basis, will really matter.
