After departing Royal Lodge, it has been reported that Andrew will be relocating to a residence within the £60 million Sandringham estate. Buckingham Palace has officially announced that King Charles has initiated the process to remove all formal titles from the 65-year-old, thereby changing his name to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
As per the Palace’s statement, Andrew will be giving up the lease on the Royal Lodge and transferring to another private accommodation, believed to be situated on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. This transition will be funded by the King’s private finances, as reported by the BBC.
In a detailed statement released by the Palace, it was stated that Prince Andrew’s titles, style, and honors are being revoked by His Majesty. Despite denying the allegations against him, Andrew will now be recognized as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and will vacate the Royal Lodge for an alternative private residence.
Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are anticipated to maintain their titles as descendants of a Sovereign’s son under King George V’s Letters Patent of 1917.
Having signed a 75-year lease on the Royal Lodge, a property once inhabited by the Queen Mother, back in 2003, Andrew will be departing following King Charles’s request earlier this year. Sandringham estate, encompassing 20,000 acres, includes Sandringham House, a significant royal residence featuring numerous rooms and smaller properties.
