Prince Andrew Loses Titles Moves to Sandringham Retains Eighth Throne Line

Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, has been stripped of his royal titles and evicted from Royal Lodge by King Charles III due to his controversial ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Buckingham Palace announced that Andrew must surrender his 75-year lease on Royal Lodge and relocate to a property on the King's private Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, although the exact residence remains uncertain with options like Wood Farm and Park House deemed unsuitable or ruled out. His future living situation is expected to be isolated and challenging, with sources describing life at Sandringham as "bleak" due to its remote and cold environment, and Andrew likely needing to adapt to a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Meanwhile, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will make separate living arrangements. The move to Sandringham is seen as part of the royal family's effort to distance themselves from Andrew amid ongoing public outrage and potential legal ramifications. Andrew hopes the new home can accommodate visits from his daughters, though local reaction to his relocation to the estate is mixed.
