Prince Andrew is officially out of Royal Lodge after a surprising 22-year run in the expansive mansion. The 65-year-old former royal’s eviction comes as he faces mounting public scrutiny linked to his long-standing association with the disgraced financier, Jeffrey Epstein. While Andrew is temporarily staying at a property on the Sandringham Estate, preparations are underway for his permanent residence, which is currently being renovated.
Interestingly, although his lease secured him a comfortable lifestyle free from significant rent, the Crown Estate is now obligated to pay him substantial compensation that includes £558,000 in payouts. After giving up his royal titles, Andrew emphasizes that the ongoing accusations against him detracted from the royal family’s duties. It’s a royal drama fit for a miniseries—who knew evictions could be so complicated in the world of monarchy?
