Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Relocates to Sandringham Amid Renewed Epstein Allegations

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, has vacated Royal Lodge in Windsor and relocated to King Charles III's Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. This move follows the release of U.S. Department of Justice documents that have revived scrutiny over his association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The 65-year-old, who has resided at Royal Lodge for over two decades, departed the 30-room mansion earlier than anticipated. He is currently residing temporarily at Wood Farm Cottage on the Sandringham Estate while his permanent accommodation undergoes renovations.

In October 2025, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III had initiated the process of removing Andrew's royal titles and honours, including his "prince" title. The palace stated, "Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation."

The recent release of 3 million pages of documents by the U.S. Department of Justice has brought to light new allegations. These include claims that Epstein arranged for a second woman to travel to the UK in 2010 to engage in sexual activity with Andrew at Royal Lodge. Additionally, email exchanges suggest that Andrew continued to communicate with Epstein beyond the period he publicly claimed to have severed ties.

Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing concerning his relationship with Epstein. Buckingham Palace has not provided further comments on his recent move or the latest allegations.
