An NHS Trust has removed a plaque commemorating the 2019 opening of Chase Farm Hospital by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly the Duke of York.
The memorial, which had been displayed inside the hospital part of London’s Royal Free NHS Foundation Trust—was taken down following King Charles’s decision last week to strip his brother of his princely title.
A Trust spokesperson confirmed the move: “Following the events of recent days and the changes to his status, the plaque at Chase Farm Hospital is being taken down. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was removed as patron of the Royal Free London in 2022 and has had no association with our trust since then.”
The decision marks another setback for the former prince, who has also been ordered to vacate his Windsor residence, Royal Lodge.
Andrew presided over the hospital’s official opening in May 2019, unveiling the plaque, helping staff bury a time capsule, and touring the £200 million facility during the ceremony.
