Prince Andrew's exit from the final remnants of royal life has not only reshaped his future - it's creating waves through his immediate relatives too.

Fergie's Title Change

His ex-wife has now surrendered her ducal status and will simply be known as Sarah Ferguson.

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

For all these years, she has kept the courtesy royal divorcee title Sarah, Duchess of York. Currently, she returns to her birth name of Ferguson.

"She has lost a certain prestige over this," said one royal commentator. "She certainly utilizes the title – even her Twitter bio is @SarahTheDuchess."

But the loss of her title may affect her much less than the scandal she's facing separately about her own connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

Recently, several charities removed her as ambassador after an email from 2011 showed that she called Epstein her "supreme friend" and seemed to apologise for her negative comments of him.

Professional Endeavors and Philanthropy

Away from her philanthropy, Ferguson also has various business ventures.

And these ventures, are more probable to be impacted by the Epstein scandal than any alteration in status, notes one monarchy analyst.

But Ferguson has been a remarkable endure in royal circles. She's kept recovering strongly.

"She is the supreme perseverer and master of reinvention," said one monarchy writer.

The Daughters

For the couple's offspring, Beatrice, thirty-seven, and Eugenie, thirty-five, there's no formal change.

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

Additionally there is no modification to the royal succession order.

The prince stays eighth position to the throne, succeeded by his daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, in ninth and twelfth place in that order.

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

Future Prospects

Beatrice and Eugenie are also currently non-working royals, and while they do sometimes take on roles – Princess Eugenie was recently named as a advisor for the monarch's charity network – commentators also suggest they "can't see a world" in which they would step up into official responsibilities.

"Regarding Beatrice and Eugenie go, I think there's an understanding of the reality that this scandal isn't about 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 affected parties, they've had to endure quietly and have been dignified in their reserve," states another royal author.

Ultimate Consequences

Ultimately, there appears to be minimal uncertainty that the individual who will be most impacted by these developments will be Prince Andrew himself.

For someone who always liked the royal privileges, the ceremony and the pageantry, the loss of his titles is profoundly embarrassing.

So to not have these, on a individual basis, will significantly count.
