Andrew moves out of Royal Lodge home early after latest Epstein files

Source: BBC

1 hour ago


Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has moved out of his home in Windsor to the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.

The former prince left Royal Lodge on Monday night and is currently living at Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate while his permanent home undergoes renovations. Buckingham Palace had said the move would happen in early 2026, but the fallout from the latest drop of Jeffrey Epstein files appears to have sped up his departure.

Pressure has been building on Mountbatten-Windsor to give evidence in the US over his relationship with the paedophile financier. He has always denied any wrongdoing. The Palace announced that he would be moving from Royal Lodge in October, at the same time his title of prince was removed.

The Sandringham Estate is privately owned by the King and he will pay the costs of his brother's new home. It is believed he will ultimately live at Marsh Farm on the estate.

The Royal family is the largest private landowner in the UK. They have made many land purchases over decades. Marsh Farm, where he is moving, is part of a private estate owned by King Charles (Marsh Farm normally houses a caretaker farmer that took care of the farm land portion of the estate but he died several years ago and it's been empty since).
Places like Buckingham Palace and some of the other larger estates are "owned" by the royal family but the government are it's caretakers.
Estates like he is moving onto are part of the vast private holdings of the royal family.

inherited wealth passed down for a millennia from the days of kings/queens as absolute rulers. This is really no different that textile/tobacco fortunes created by the slave trade in the South.

It's absolutely disgusting. Even more so when you realize that the current royal family are not even direct lineage to the British royal family which the last direct heir died in the 1800s and the current family is a very distant branch of the family from Germany. I think the guy that took over was the last Queen's 2nd or 3rd cousin who ruled Hanover in Germany.
There was a surviving, more direct member of the family at the time but he apparently was a bit of an idiot and an asshole and a Catholic so Queen Mary opted for the more distant branch of relatives that were less controversial at the time and also protestant.

Make his ass stay somewhere at his own expense. Let Fergie put him up until his house is done. That would be a great sitcom.
