Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s eviction from Royal Lodge is officially underway.
According to The Sun, removal vans were seen arriving at the disgraced prince’s longtime home in Windsor on Wednesday morning (January 14). Photographs shared by the outlet showed a white lorry driving through the gates of Royal Lodge at around 10:30 a.m. They were seen leaving after three hours.
The outlet previously reported that the former Duke of York could surrender the property by the time of his 66th birthday in February. Some sources suggest he could be out by the end of the month.
As the move gathers pace, preparations at Andrew’s next residence are well underway. Renovations are currently ongoing at Marsh Farm in Sandringham, where he is expected to spend his years in exile. Until the work is complete on his new home, Andrew will temporarily stay in a smaller Sandringham property until Easter.
Despite the progress, the downgrade is significant. A source told the outlet, “The snow or rain hasn’t delayed the work on Marsh Farm but it still needs a lot of attention to make it habitable. But one thing for sure is that it is a lot, lot smaller and less luxurious than Royal Lodge.”
Andrew was stripped of his prince and duke titles amid renewed scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. He also handed back his 75-year tenancy agreement after calling Royal Lodge his home since 2004.
