Buckingham Palace announced that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had been evicted from his longtime Windsor home, Royal Lodge, in October 2025 after his titles and honors were stripped by King Charles, but moving, it turns out, is a more complicated process than expected. While multiple sources indicated that The King wanted his brother out of Royal Lodge by Easter, on Wednesday, January 14, the Sun reported that a new plan is in place for Andrew's relocation.
Instead of staying put until April, the ex-duke is now expected to move to The King's private Sandringham estate within weeks. A friend of Andrew's told the media outlet, "He’s finally decided he needs to get on with his life and so is moving out sooner than thought and starting afresh by the end of the month, or at least before his birthday in February."
