Overview
- Andrew was not invited to the monarch’s pre-Christmas gathering attended by Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and he is also excluded from Sandringham festivities, according to current reporting.
- He has been quietly stripped of his last honorary military position, with reports stating he is now listed as a commander (retired) in the Royal Navy.
- Crown Estate executives and Royal Collection staff have inspected Royal Lodge, and a Royal Household lorry has been seen moving items into Windsor storage.
- Reporting indicates he and Sarah Ferguson must vacate Royal Lodge by the end of next October, and repair costs flagged during inspections could erase a potential £500,000 early-surrender payment.
- Additional accounts describe removals taking place at night, a continuing dispute over which items belong to him versus the Crown, and claims that hoarding could slow the move.
