In recent weeks, the former Prince Andrew—now known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor—has dominated the news. After King Charles removed his brother's official royal titles, he served an eviction notice on Andrew's home, Royal Lodge in Windsor. It's been suggested that Andrew will be moved to a house on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England in 2026. But according to a royal insider, Andrew has been making some demands about his future.

According to the Daily Mail, Andrew "is insisting...on an appropriate home and a rota of staff fit for the son—however debased—of a queen and the father of two royal princesses."
