Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the disgraced former prince, has allegedly issued a series of demands before he vacates the Royal Lodge.

The ex-royal’s fall from grace has been dramatic, following revelations that he had been in contact with the late paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, despite claiming to have severed ties. Consequently, he was stripped of his titles and instructed to leave the Royal Lodge in Windsor in the coming months.

Furthermore, he has received a formal request to testify before the US Congress about his knowledge of Epstein. Andrew has vehemently and consistently denied all allegations of any misconduct related to underage sex and connections to Epstein.

According to MailOnline, Andrew is now reportedly demanding an adequate number of staff at his new residence, believed to be the private Sandringham Estate. He also expects his extensive collection of teddy bears to be relocated with him and refuses to pack them until an agreement is reached regarding his new accommodation and who will care for him.

Reportedly, Andrew has requested a cook, housekeeper, gardeners, and a butler. He also wants the freedom to move around as he wishes, rather than being confined to his home, reports the Mirror.

These alleged demands come amidst reports that Andrew has been barred from horse riding around Windsor Castle, although there are said to be plans for him to walk around parts of the site that are away from public areas.

Andrew’s troubles started when his connections to Epstein emerged publicly, particularly after his catastrophic Newsnight appearance. However, his former wife Sarah Ferguson is said to be worried that worse may be yet to come for Andrew.

A source speaking to The Sun suggested the pair, who continue to share the Royal Lodge despite their divorce, adding: “She is particularly fearful for Andrew as she knows he was at the centre of the Epstein scandal.

“She has talked about ‘dark forces’ potentially targeting him. It is probably far-fetched but she is s***-scared and massively on edge.”

What lies ahead for Fergie and where she might ultimately settle remains uncertain. One expert has suggested the former Royal could potentially relocate abroad entirely, as public anger appears unlikely to subside in the near future.
