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 New Status

The former spouse 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. Now, she reverts to her birth name of Ferguson.

"She will have lost a certain prestige over this," noted one royal commentator. "She certainly utilizes the title – even her social media profile is @TheDuchessSarah."

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

Last month, multiple organizations removed her as patron after correspondence from over a decade ago revealed that she referred to Epstein her "supreme friend" and seemed to apologise for her negative comments of him.

Business Ventures and Charity Work

Separate from her philanthropy, Ferguson also has multiple commercial enterprises.

And these ventures, are more probable to be impacted by the Epstein controversy than any alteration in status, says one royal commentator.

But Ferguson has been a remarkable endure in monarchical networks. She has continued bouncing back.

"She is the ultimate survivor 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 official alteration.

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

Additionally there is no change to the line of succession.

Andrew remains eighth in line to the crown, succeeded by his children Beatrice and Eugenie, in ninth and twelfth position in that order.

But in reality their standing are "low down" and will probably become much further down as time goes on.

Future Prospects

Beatrice and Eugenie are also currently non-official royals, and while they occasionally accept positions – The younger princess was recently named as a mentor for the monarch's charity network – experts also suggest they "don't envision a scenario" in which they would advance into official responsibilities.

"Regarding Beatrice and Eugenie are concerned, I think there's an understanding of the fact that this scandal isn't about them, and it's unjust for it to impact them directly in the independent lives 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 silence," states another monarchy writer.

Final Impact

In the end, there seems to be minimal uncertainty that the individual who will be most affected by these developments will be the Duke himself.

For someone who consistently enjoyed the royal privileges, the pomp and the ceremony, the loss of his titles is profoundly embarrassing.

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