Andrew moves out of 30-room royal mansion to ‘modest’ five-bed home after being stripped of royal titles and benefits

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor moved out of the Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate on Monday night, Feb. 2. The disgraced former duke now lives on a property on the slightly smaller Sandringham Estate, a royal compound that the king personally owns. The former Duke of York will call the Marsh Farm his permanent home and will have to pay the cost, according to the BBC. Mountbatten-Windsor will briefly return to Windsor to collect the remaining of his belongings. In October, the ex-prince was stripped of his royal titles and ordered to vacate the Royal Lodge. Mountbatten-Windsor has lived in the 30-room Georgian mansion, which sits on 98 acres of land west of London, since 2003. However, he has now left the 30-room mansion for the 5-room accomodation. Marsh Farm, once described by royal insiders as “modest”, has a kitchen, two reception rooms, and various outbuildings and stables. Sarah Ferguson, also named in the Epstein files, will not be joining her ex-husband. The move comes after new disclosures showed the extent of Andrew’s closeness with convicted sx offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing. Among the three million files released on Friday, Jan. 30, by the US Department of Justice was a 2010 email exchange between A and Epstein. The businessman asks: “What time would you like me and [redacted]? “We will also need/have private time.” In a response, an email signed off by A suggested: “Alternatively, we should have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy.”  Photographs also show Mountbatten-Windsor in compromising positions, including kneeling over a woman lying on the ground.  Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before a congressional committee in the US over his dealings with Epstein. He said: Anybody who has got information should be prepared to share that information in whatever form they are asked to do that.The post Andrew moves out of 30-room royal mansion to modest five-bed home after being stripped of royal titles and benefits appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
