Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson might have a new place to call home.
After being stripped of their titles and evicted from Royal Lodge over their connection to Jeffrey Epstein, broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner believes the former couple will be living close to family.
“My feeling is that Andrew will not really settle in Sandringham,” the commentator told Fox News Digital.

“Sarah is obviously looking for an escape route after her latest hiding place was discovered,” Turner said of Ferguson’s Austrian hideaway.
“I have a suspicion both might end up in Portugal to be close to their grandchildren and lead a simpler, quieter life,” he predicted.
Princess Eugenie recently announced she and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, are expecting their third child. While there were earlier rumors that Sarah would move in with her youngest daughter and her family, but that’s unlikely to happen.
There was also speculation that the mother of two would move to the Middle East after leaving the U.K.

“In Britain, neither Sarah nor Andrew will be socially accepted again, whatever they try to do or wherever they go. But in the Middle East, no one will care about what they have got up to [with Jeffrey Epstein],” biographer Andrew Lownie told Daily Mail.
“There are people there — royalty, politicians and business types — whom Sarah can quite happily sponge off and who will be happy to bankroll both of them,” he said.
“These types of people in the Middle East simply couldn’t care less what Sarah has done,” the journalist noted.
“And even if she doesn’t have her title of the Duchess of York anymore, she will still be seen as royalty and treated as such — and she knows it,” Lownie remarked.

“There are plenty of dodgy people in the Middle East who would quite happily help out Sarah. People in Dubai have been linked to [Jeffrey] Epstein through the email release, but they are safe because they know they are untouchable,” Lownie said.
