Pressure is mounting on Prince Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, to vacate their shared residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor as public discontent grows. Speculations suggest Andrew might follow in the footsteps of his nephew, Prince Harry, who relocated abroad. Following the relinquishment of their royal titles, questions arise regarding Andrew’s continued occupancy of the opulent estate in Windsor Great Park, featuring 30 rooms and eight bedrooms, after a purported conversation with his brother, King Charles.
Having resided at Royal Lodge since 2003 under a long-term lease agreed with the Crown Estate, Andrew and Sarah, despite their divorce, have maintained a close relationship. Recent scrutiny has drawn attention to Sarah’s connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including an email where she allegedly referred to him as a “supreme friend” despite publicly denouncing him.
While calls for the couple to leave Royal Lodge persist, legal constraints pose a challenge due to Andrew’s lease agreement lasting until 2078. However, speculation suggests that if they choose to depart voluntarily, they may opt to relocate abroad, possibly to Switzerland or Abu Dhabi. Financially, Sarah’s recent property sale in Belgravia has provided them with various options for their future endeavors.
