Andrew and his former wife, Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson — who continued to share the home despite their 1997 divorce — were also said to have fallen behind on key maintenance work at the Grade II-listed property.
Matters reportedly intensified in October when emails involving Andrew and Ferguson resurfaced in connection with Epstein, alongside the posthumous publication of writings by accuser Virginia Giuffre.
According to reports, Andrew and Ferguson sought two alternative properties in exchange for vacating Royal Lodge. When those suggestions were declined, Andrew allegedly requested a residence with at least “six or seven bedrooms” and a full staff.
Though the 77-year-old monarch did not agree to that proposal, Andrew was eventually moved to Marsh Farm on the King’s private Sandringham estate. Ahead of his relocation, the home reportedly underwent upgrades and was fitted with a new entertainment system by SKY VIP.
The Royal Family Responds
Anne remains the only sibling of the late Queen who has not publicly commented on Andrew’s downfall.
