According to legend, Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson have agreed to move out of Royal Lodge for two separate residences, but royal expert Jennie Bond claims that this is “beggars belief.”
The King would be making a ‘serious mistake’ if he were to agree to Prince Andrew’s reported ‘brazen’ demand over his living arrangements, an expert has claimed.
After days of mounting pressure, Andrew is said to be in talks with Charles’ representatives about leaving his Royal Lodge home following the furore over the ‘peppercorn’ rent for the 30-room mansion, where he has lived for more than 20 years. Andrew attempted to draw a line under years of controversy over his links to Jeffrey Epstein and following allegations he sexually abused Virginia Giuffre, by giving up his dukedom and other honours ahead of the publication of Giuffre’s posthumous memoirs.

The prince, who vehemently refutes the allegations, was instead stifled by criticism that has focused on the property where he has effectively resided since 2003.
Now it has been reported that Andrew will give up the 30-room Windsor mansion but has requested the former home of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Frogmore Cottage.
Meanwhile, his ex-wife, Sarah, who also lives at Royal Lodge, may relocate to Adelaide Cottage after it is vacated by the Prince and Princess of Wales next month.
William, Kate, and their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – are due to move to Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom Grade II-listed residence in Windsor Great Park.
And if the reports that Andrew and Fergie are wanting two separate properties to leave Royal Lodge are true, royal expert Jennie Bond says it “beggars belief”. The former BBC royal correspondent told the Mirror : “I think it would be a serious mistake if the King and the Palace agreed to such a brazen demand.
You must consider whether Andrew and Sarah are completely ignorant of the general public. The fact that several prominent members of Parliament have lied about having a friendship with Jeffrey Epstein is a real outcry from the public and some lawmakers.
“But they appear to believe they are entitled to two magnificent homes in Windsor Great Park, which are almost entirely hidden from view, almost in the shadow of the Castle itself,” the source said.
The Palace should completely reject this outrageous demand. With their own resources and money, Andrew and Sarah are adults. Instead of relying on the Crown Estate’s goodwill and the King, they should be forced to take their own lives.
According to the pair’s friends, Sarah “feels like she deserves a royal home to see her years,” according to The Sun.
According to reports, the King has long attempted to persuade his younger brother, who lives with Sarah in Royal Lodge, to leave.
After Harry and Meghan moved out, Charles reportedly made an offer for Frogmore Cottage to Andrew in January 2023, but the former duke rejected it.
And Jennie continued, “Frogmore Cottage has suddenly become desirable, despite having been repeatedly rejected by Andrew.
“But the disgraced couple won’t be able to live off of the £2.4 million makeover, which Harry and Meghan ultimately paid for.” According to reports, Sarah has settled in Adelaide Cottage, William and Catherine’s soon-to-be-vacated home, and is now claiming to want her own place.
“Andrew is alleged to have been given the privilege of using a lavish palace in Abu Dhabi with all the luxuries he so long for. The majority of people believe that he would benefit more if he moved further away from the UK.
