Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, has been allowed to keep his Falklands campaign medal despite losing his royal and military titles, including his princehood, dukedom, and military ranks, following his fallout with King Charles. The medal, awarded for his active service during the 1982 Falklands conflict, is considered an operational medal and not an honor, and its retention has received mixed public and veteran opinions.
