Andrew Windsor Street Renamed After Fresh Disgrace
The push to rename a street after Prince Andrew comes after years of controversy surrounding his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and allegations from the late Virginia Giuffre, who said Windsor sexually assaulted her as a teenager before she took her life this year aged 41. Despite denying the accusation, Windsor is now living in disgrace after his older brother, King Charles, stripped him of his royal titles over his links to Epstein.
The Carrickfergus street currently contains around 10 addresses and is set to drop Andrew’s name from its sign. Alliance Party councilor Lauren Gray, who first proposed the name change, stated that the issue has gained momentum since she joined the council in 2019. She mentioned, “In recent weeks as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor stepped away from some of the titles conferred on him, and now with the royal family removing his style, title and honours, we’re now in the space to have this conversation.”
Her motion was seconded by Alliance councillor Aaron Skinner and was backed unanimously by all political parties on the council, including the DUP, UUP, TUV, and Sinn Féin.
