People living on Prince Andrew Road want the street name changed after the king’s brother was retitled Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor following years of Jeffrey Epstein-related scandals. Tom Kirk, 36, says the address in the U.K. town of Maidenhead, Berkshire, draws “a smirk or a raised eyebrow” and argues a moral case to ditch it. In nearby Prince Andrew Close, Kelly Pevy, 39, says companies “make a little joke” whenever she gives her address. King Charles stripped Andrew, 65, of his royal titles and lodging, partly over his alleged links to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. A YouGov survey last week found 91 percent of Britons view Andrew negatively. Residents have contacted the council to explore the process to rename the roads. Alternatives floated include Prince Alfred Road, Prince George Road, or river-themed names. However, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead requires unanimous consent from affected owners and adherence to national conventions—plus residents may be required to cover the cost of new signage. That’s a deal-breaker for some. John Stamp, 93, calls the paperwork “too much,” while Janet Wise, 87, says changing “all your legal stuff” would be “a lot of work.”
