Prince Andrew Sarah Ferguson Negotiate Royal Lodge Departure Windsor Estates

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have agreed to leave Royal Lodge amid ongoing negotiations with King Charles, with Andrew reportedly demanding to move to Frogmore Cottage and Ferguson seeking nearby Adelaide Cottage, both within Windsor Castle's security perimeter and requiring no extra taxpayer expense. Despite their divorce, the couple has lived together at Royal Lodge since 2008, but recent strain has led them to consider separate residences. Their relinquishment of royal titles followed scandals related to their association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, increasing public pressure for their departure. Ferguson has faced criticism and lost charitable associations due to her Epstein-related controversies, while Andrew stepped back from royal duties after a damaging 2019 BBC interview about Epstein. Negotiations are complicated by Ferguson's potential desire for a separate home and the fact that she sold her Belgravia property, meaning new accommodations are necessary regardless. Possible relocation options include private royal estates like Sandringham or Balmoral, allowing rent-free residence without additional public costs.
