According to
The Sun, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's entrepreneurial incubator firm, Pitch@Palace, has been officially dissolved. The business accelerator — launched in 2014 — connected innovators with potential investors. "It was for many years one of Andrew's proudest achievements, but with it finally wound up, his impending exile is looking to be not just a fresh start but also retirement," a source told the publication.

Pitch@Palace began to slow down operations in 2019, with the British branch ending in 2021. However, documents to dissolve the U.K. division were filed years later in November 2025. On February 3, the motion went into effect. A Dutch organization, Startup Bootcamp, tried to purchase the company, but the deal fell through.

As Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was gradually phased out of royal life due to his connection to Jeffrey Epstein, the business ultimately failed. "Pitch@Palace Global had a slow and inevitable death but proved impossible to resurrect after he was stripped of all royal titles," the source said.

Despite years of speculation about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein,
King Charles III officially removed his brother's titles and evicted him from Royal Lodge. "His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew," the statement from Buckingham Palace
read. "Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease, and he will move to alternative private accommodation."

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is reportedly feeling the cost of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. "He's coming to terms with the fact he's lost everything that mattered to him: his status, his position in the royal family and military, and to a lesser extent, a fractured family," a source told
The Telegraph.
