In a dramatic move signaling his continued fall from grace, Prince Andrew, the disgraced younger brother of King Charles III, is being relocated from the opulent Royal Lodge near Windsor Castle to a more secluded property on the Sandringham Estate in eastern England. This internal exile underscores the monarchy’s efforts to distance itself from the controversies surrounding Andrew, particularly his ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Despite maintaining his innocence regarding allegations of misconduct during his friendship with Epstein, including claims by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Andrew’s public image remains deeply tarnished. His eviction from Royal Lodge, where he has resided for over two decades, marks a significant step in King Charles’s reign to protect the royal family’s reputation. While Andrew’s new residence at Sandringham, a private estate owned by the royal family since 1862, ensures he won’t burden British taxpayers, it also symbolizes his diminished role within the monarchy. The move, expected to occur after the Christmas festivities, will see Andrew settling in one of the estate’s smaller properties, far from the grandeur of his former home. This relocation not only isolates him from public scrutiny but also reflects the royal family’s broader strategy to mitigate the fallout from his scandals.
