Overview
- Buckingham Palace has served formal notice to surrender Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge lease, with a planned move to private accommodation on the Sandringham estate.
- Ferguson has lived at Royal Lodge since 2008, and press reports say she has already been stripped of her Duchess style, though this has not been confirmed by the palace.
- Fox News Digital, citing royal commentator Helena Chard, reports Andrew invited Ferguson to join him at Sandringham, but she is said to prefer staying near her grandchildren.
- The Mirror cites estimates that Ferguson’s finances are limited and reports claims that friends and charities are distancing themselves, characterizing a sharp drop in work and social contacts.
- Coverage notes Andrew is expected to leave in the new year and could reclaim money under his lease, while Ferguson is reported to be considering options that may include relocating abroad, such as Portugal.
