Prince Andrew, aged 65, is under pressure to vacate his 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor following reports of a fully-staffed palace in Abu Dhabi, gifted to him and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, by the UAE’s ruling Nahyan family. Andrew reportedly finds the Abu Dhabi palace too quiet, while Sarah dislikes the heat. Amid the latest Epstein scandal, Andrew announced on Friday that he will relinquish all remaining titles and honors.
MP Robert Jenrick has urged Andrew to “vanish” and live privately, stating that the public is “sick of him” and that taxpayers should not continue funding his lifestyle due to repeated embarrassments to the Royal Family. Jenrick praised King Charles for managing the situation to ensure Andrew leads a quiet life without further disgracing the family or the country. Reports indicate Prince William and Princess Kate are leading efforts to relocate Andrew and Sarah from Royal Lodge, as they prepare to move to Forest Lodge on the Windsor estate with their children, Prince George (12), Princess Charlotte (10), and Prince Louis (7).
