Palace Formalizes Removal of Andrew’s Titles as Royal Lodge Lease Is Surrendered

He is expected to move to a privately funded home on the Sandringham estate, with Sarah Ferguson preparing separate housing after charities cut ties.

Overview

  • Buckingham Palace announced a formal process to remove Andrew’s style, titles and honours, stating he will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
  • The palace confirmed formal notice to surrender his 75-year Royal Lodge lease and said he will relocate to alternative private accommodation.
  • Multiple outlets report he is expected to move to a property on the privately owned Sandringham estate, with reports that the King may privately fund the arrangement.
  • Sarah Ferguson will leave Royal Lodge and is expected to make her own living arrangements, and several charities dropped her after a resurfaced 2011 email referring to Jeffrey Epstein as her “supreme friend.”
  • Reporting highlights Royal Lodge’s terms, including a peppercorn rent, £7.5 million in refurbishments and a clause that could return about £558,000 upon surrender, with separate coverage noting his previous allowance ended and high security costs.
