Prince Andrew's removal from the final remnants of monarchical duties has not only reshaped his future - it's sending ripples through his immediate relatives too.

Fergie's Title Change

The former spouse has now lost her duchess title and will now be referred to as Sarah Ferguson.

For Sarah, 66, the change will be the most visible.

For all these years, she has maintained the honorary royal divorcee title Sarah, York Duchess. Currently, she reverts to her birth name of Ferguson.

"She will have lost a bit of cachet over this," noted one monarchy expert. "She definitely does use the title – even her Twitter bio is @TheDuchessSarah."

But the loss of her title may impact her much less than the scandal she's dealing with independently about her own links with the convicted financier.

Last month, several charities removed her as patron after an email from over a decade ago showed that she referred to Epstein her "supreme friend" and seemed to apologise for her negative comments of him.

Professional Endeavors and Charity Work

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

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

But Ferguson has been a remarkable endure in monarchical networks. She has continued recovering strongly.

"She's the supreme perseverer and expert at transforming," commented one royal author.

The Daughters

For Andrew and Sarah's offspring, Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, thirty-five, there's no formal change.

They will still be known as royal princesses, which they have been granted since their birth.

There is also no modification to the royal succession order.

Andrew remains eighth in line to the throne, succeeded by his daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, in ninth and twelfth position respectively.

But in practice their standing are "distant" and will probably become even more remote as years pass.

Future Prospects

The princesses are also presently non-official royals, and while they occasionally take on roles – The younger princess was recently named as a advisor for the King's Foundation program – commentators also say they "can't see a world" in which they would advance into royal duties.

"Regarding Beatrice and Eugenie are concerned, I think there's an appreciation of the fact that this controversy doesn't involve them, and it's unjust for it to affect them directly in the independent lives they are carving out for themselves," says one royal commentator.

"The princesses are most unfortunate affected parties, they've had to endure quietly and have been dignified in their silence," states another royal author.

Ultimate Consequences

Ultimately, there seems to be little doubt that the individual who will be most affected by these developments will be the Duke himself.

For a man who always liked the trappings of royalty, the pomp and the ceremony, the loss of his titles is deeply humiliating.

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