With the news that the former Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are vacating Royal Lodge in the coming days, one of the questions on everyone's minds is what King Charles will do with his brother's former home. Buckingham Palace announced on October 30 that Andrew's titles had been formally removed by The King and he would no longer be known as a prince. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, as he's now being called, also received notice on Thursday that he must leave Royal Lodge. Now that Andrew is moving to Sandringham, one property expert says that the Royal Family has much to consider when it comes to what to do with the home.
Robin Edwards, a property buying agent at London real estate agency Curetons, tells Marie Claire that The King "faces a difficult and rather sensitive decision over what to do with the prestigious property." Royal Lodge was the former home of the Queen Mother, and Prince Andrew has lived there with his ex-wife for two decades. Considering its historic nature, Edwards notes that "the most likely outcome is that the property will remain within royal use, either reassigned to another senior member of the family or retained as an official guest residence."
