Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been seeing out his final days at the Royal Lodge in Windsor before his eviction is finalised, with claims he could now be booted from the 30-room mansion “within weeks”.
The disgraced royal handed back his tenancy agreement for the property on the Windsor Estate when he was stripped of his royal titles, amid the ongoing revelations emerging about the nature of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew remained in the Royal Lodge over the Christmas period to avoid any awkward run-ins with the Royal Family, who spent the festive season at Sandringham, where the former prince is reportedly moving to. The former Duke of York is reportedly moving into Marsh Farm on the Norfolk estate, with work on the building said to be in full swing. Renovations on the property continue, and so Andrew is thought to leave Royal Lodge before his 66th birthday on February 19.
Six-foot wooden fences have been erected around the dilapidated Marsh Farm on the King’s Norfolk estate, securing the property and ensuring privacy for his disgraced brother. “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,” a source said.
Andrew was stripped of his prince and duke titles last year amid the worsening sex allegations relating to his friendship with the late US paedophile tycoon Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew denies any wrongdoing.
