Overview
- Prince Andrew has reportedly been told to vacate Royal Lodge by Easter, with local reports indicating a likely move to a smaller home on the Sandringham estate.
- Property expert Elliot Castle says the end of the long lease leaves nothing to pass on to Andrew’s daughters and estimates Andrew faces roughly a £500,000 loss from moving and unrecoverable investment.
- The decision follows renewed scrutiny of Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the earlier withdrawal of his remaining royal roles by the King.
- Beatrice and Eugenie joined the royal family for Christmas services at Sandringham, while Andrew and Sarah Ferguson stayed away from the main gathering.
- Tabloid-sourced commentary alleges Andrew may rely on his daughters for palace information and speculates he could eventually relocate abroad, including to Bahrain.
