Overview
- Buckingham Palace says formal notice has been served to surrender Andrew’s long‑term Royal Lodge lease, with a move to private accommodation on the Sandringham estate planned.
- Andrew will no longer use the title “Prince” and will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, as the palace cites necessary censures despite his continued denials of the allegations.
- Democratic members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee are urging him to testify about Jeffrey Epstein, with Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi calling for voluntary testimony and Rep. Suhas Subramanyam noting he could appear remotely.
- Media reports indicate a relocation settlement that includes a one‑off payment for moving costs and a privately funded annual stipend from the King, while Sarah Ferguson is not expected to relocate to Sandringham.
- Public and political pressure continues in the UK, with polling showing strong backing for the King’s action, parliamentary scrutiny of the Royal Lodge lease, and official rolls updated so the Duke of York title is no longer used.
