Overview
- Buckingham Palace has initiated the formal removal of Andrew’s style, titles and honours, stating he will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
- The Palace served formal notice to surrender his 75‑year Royal Lodge lease, an arrangement documented with a peppercorn rent and renovation obligations that is now under scrutiny.
- Reporting indicates he will relocate to a smaller private residence on the King’s Sandringham Estate, with costs understood to be covered privately by the monarch, likely after Christmas and into early 2026.
- Newly disclosed emails from 2010 and 2011 show Andrew remained in contact with Jeffrey Epstein, contradicting his previous account of having cut ties in 2010.
- Sarah Ferguson is expected to move out and make her own living arrangements, with differing reports on whether she might live near Andrew, as questions persist over the optics of any continued royal support.
