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

Fergie's Title Change

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

For Ferguson, sixty-six, the transition will be the most apparent.

Throughout this period, she has kept the courtesy royal post-marital designation Sarah, York Duchess. Now, she reverts to her maiden name of Ferguson.

"She has lost a certain prestige over this," said one monarchy expert. "She certainly does use the title – even her social media profile is @SarahTheDuchess."

But the loss of her title may impact her much less than the controversy she's dealing with independently about her own connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

Last month, several charities removed her as ambassador after an email from 2011 revealed that she called Epstein her "greatest ally" and seemed to apologise for her public criticism of him.

Business Ventures and Charity Work

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

And these ventures, are more likely to be affected by the Epstein controversy than any alteration in status, notes one monarchy analyst.

But Ferguson has been a remarkable endure in monarchical networks. She has continued recovering strongly.

"She is the supreme perseverer and expert at transforming," said one monarchy writer.

The Daughters

For the couple's offspring, Beatrice, thirty-seven, and Eugenie, 35, there's no formal change.

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

There is also no change to the line of succession.

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

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

Coming Opportunities

The princesses are also presently non-official royals, and while they occasionally take on roles – Princess Eugenie was recently named as a advisor for the monarch's charity network – experts also say they "can't see a scenario" in which they would advance into royal duties.

"Regarding Beatrice and Eugenie are concerned, I think there's an understanding of the fact that this controversy doesn't involve 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 most unfortunate affected parties, they've had to suffer in silence and have been composed in their reserve," states another monarchy writer.

Final Impact

Ultimately, there seems to be minimal uncertainty that the person who will be most affected by these developments will be the Duke himself.

For someone who consistently enjoyed the royal privileges, the ceremony and the ceremony, the loss of his titles is deeply humiliating.

So to not have these, on a personal level, will significantly count.
