Title Returned to Prince Andrew
The question of Prince Andrew's royal titles is the question of whether the institution of the monarchy communicates its values through the titles it awards and retains. The title is the signal, and the signal communicates the institution's assessment of the title's holder, and the assessment is communicated by whether the title is held or not held. All three possibilities are communications.
What This Reveals About Britain
What the royal title question reveals about the monarchy managing its public communications: the monarchy that awards, withholds, and reconsiders titles is using titles as the primary instrument of institutional communication. The title communicates. The withdrawal communicates. The return communicates. All three are institutional statements.
The Satirical Conclusion
The title is the institutional signal, and the institution has been sending different signals at different times depending on which consideration was most pressing at each specific moment. The consistency of the signal is the monarchy's challenge. The inconsistency of the signal is the satire's opportunity.
