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

Sarah Ferguson's New Status

The former spouse has now surrendered her ducal status and will simply be known as Sarah Ferguson.

For Ferguson, sixty-six, the change will be the most visible.

Throughout this period, she has maintained the honorary royal post-marital designation Sarah, York Duchess. Currently, she returns to her maiden name of Ferguson.

"She has lost a bit of cachet over this," said one royal commentator. "She definitely utilizes the title – including her Twitter bio is @TheDuchessSarah."

But the relinquishment of her status may affect her much less than the scandal she's dealing with independently about her own links with the convicted financier.

Last month, multiple organizations dropped her as ambassador after an email from over a decade ago revealed that she referred to Epstein her "greatest ally" and appeared to express regret for her negative comments of him.

Professional Endeavors and Charity Work

Away 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 royal circles. She has continued recovering strongly.

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

The Daughters

For the couple's offspring, Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, there's no official alteration.

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

There is also no modification to the royal succession order.

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

But in practice their standing are "low down" and will probably become even more remote as time goes on.

Future Prospects

The princesses are also presently non-official royals, and while they occasionally take on roles – Princess Eugenie was recently announced as a advisor for the monarch's charity program – commentators also suggest they "don't envision a scenario" in which they would step up into royal duties.

"Regarding Beatrice and Eugenie go, I think there's an appreciation of the reality that this scandal doesn't involve them, and it's not fair for it to affect them personally in the separate paths they are carving out for themselves," explains one monarchy analyst.

"Their daughters are most unfortunate affected parties, they've had to endure quietly and have been composed in their silence," adds another royal author.

Ultimate Consequences

Ultimately, there appears to be minimal uncertainty that the person who will be most affected by all of this will be Prince Andrew himself.

For a man who consistently enjoyed the royal privileges, the pomp and the pageantry, the relinquishment of his honors is profoundly embarrassing.

Therefore lacking these, on a personal level, will really matter.
