According to ITV, despite Andrew’s ongoing denials of wrongdoing, palace officials believe there have been “serious lapses of judgment.” As part of the new arrangement, Andrew will move to a property on the Sandringham Estate.
Reports suggest any future housing will be privately funded by King Charles. Meanwhile, Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who has been living with him at Royal Lodge, is also expected to relocate and make her own living arrangements.
It’s understood the decision to evict Andrew and revoke his titles was made by the King with the backing of Prince William.
Commentators Call the Move “Ruthless”
Royal experts have described King Charles’s actions as unprecedented. Commentator Jennie Bond told GB News:
“I’ve been reporting on the royal family for more than three decades, including Diana’s death, and this is a crisis beyond anything I’ve covered before.
“King Charles is not a ruthless man, but this, you have to say, is ruthless action.”
