This was what I had tried to post earlier--

Andrew has been deleted from the Royal Family website:

I know we've discussed this before, but considering the "York" title is especially now radioactive, maybe "Cambridge" will become the preferred title for the second sons of monarchs.

Well Queen Victoria disliked the title because of her uncle’s behaviour.creating Prince Alfred Duke of Edinburgh.

As everybody knows,there was a dispute,once Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne,about the name of the Royal Family.A compromise was reached whereby those not directly in the line of succession would bear the surname Mountbatten Windsor.

Given Andrew’s disgrace,I wonder if that will persist for people like Lady Louise Mountbatten Windsor.

[Henry W]

If we're prepared to go that far (disgracing the entire surname), then surely we should be encouraging Peter Phillips to change his second middle name from Andrew to something else?!

I suspect this will be the case, at least for a generation or two - given that the King will most likely have passed away by the time George marries, he won't need a title to hold him over the way William did, so Cambridge will be free to give to Louis. That being said, given the lack of other options with Sussex, Gloucester, and Kent occupied for the foreseeable future, and only Edinburgh and Cambridge to spare of the royal titles (once Prince Edward's life peerage ends, that is), I wonder if there will be any thought given to reviving Clarence, or Windsor, or elevating Inverness to a dukedom again, since, although Andrew holds it as an earldom, it's not as tainted by association with him - even in a stripped down monarchy George's children will likely still be granted titles. But that's quite a ways off, obviously

The problem with using Windsor is that the Earl of Plymouth is already Baron Windsor and is Viscount Windsor as part of his earldom.Similarly the Marques of Bute has the subsidiary title Earl of Windsor.In each it refers to their descent from th Windsor family who  owned extensive estates in Glamorgan(17,000 & 21,000 acres respectively).

Some lesser known royal dukedoms, according to Debrett's, are  Ross, Kendal, Connaught and Avondale.

They could just pick a place not used before HRH Prince Louis, Duke of Birmingham. 

[S. S.]

I don't think a new place would have the "air of antiquity". They could just as easily make Louis Duke of Chelsea, Duke of Brighton etc if they wanted. Time will tell what title (if any) is conferred upon the next generation!

[Windemere]

If they wished to be innovative at some point in the future, they could create a dukedom based upon a Canadian, Australian, or New Zealandic locality.

[malcolm davies]

I doubt I will still be alive when Prince Louis is created a duke.

If they are looking for a title outside the ones used by Royal family members before,the most likely should be Newcastle.The king is descended from the Dukes of Newcastle of the first and second creations through the late Queen Mother.

King wants Andrew to lose final military title, minister says

[marquess]

If I were him, I'd change my name to Smith and have nothing further to do with the so called family. 

[Windemere]

That might be easier said than done. Now that he's been turned out of Royal Lodge, it will likely he the family that's providing his room and board.

To the best of my knowlege, his nephew Harry no longer receives any support at all from the government or the family. But Harry was able to rely on his, and his wife's, celebrity status to devise an income from various mass media sources to finance an affluent lifestyle. Due to Andrew's situation, it isn't likely that he'd be able to do the same.
