Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is expected to move out of Royal Lodge by Easter, new reports have suggested.<\/p>\n

The former prince has been living at the Windsor property since 2003, but in October 2025, it was confirmed by Buckingham Palace that he will be relocating to a property on the Sandringham estate.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Palace said: “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.<\/p>\n

“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. <\/p>\n

“Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. <\/p>\n

“These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.<\/p>\n

“Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”<\/p>\n

According to sources who spoke to the Mail, Andrew will be “out” of Royal Lodge by Easter.<\/p>\n

Each year, the Royal Family joins King Charles and Queen Camilla for church at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, a stone’s throw away from Royal Lodge.<\/p>\n

If Andrew does leave his soon-to-be former home at Easter, it means he will not cross paths with any senior members of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

The former duke did attend last year’s religious ceremony alongside his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, and their children, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.<\/p>\n

It is not yet known which property Andrew will move to in Norfolk, but the living expenses are expected to be privately funded by King Charles.<\/p>\n

Royal author Rob Jobson told Hello!: “The royals are hoping to draw a line under the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor controversy in 2026. <\/p>\n

“He is expected to move out of his Royal Lodge home in Windsor for a more modest property on the King’s private Sandringham estate.<\/p>\n

“Whether it ends the lurid speculation about him only time will tell, but it is doubtful.”<\/p>\n

Andrew’s HRH styling and princely title were officially stripped in November. <\/p>\n

In addition, his Order of the Garter and Royal Victorian Order honours were removed in December.<\/p>\n

The fallout stems from Andrew’s association with the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

In 2019, he stepped down as a working member of the Royal Family after his disastrous Newsnight interview.<\/p>\n
