Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is set to leave Royal Lodge, sparking speculation about Sarah Ferguson’s next moves. Removal vans have been spotted packing up the ex-prince’s belongings as he prepares to vacate the 30-room Windsor mansion for a smaller property in Sandringham. This marks the end of his 22-year residency at the Lodge, forcing his ex-wife Fergie out as well.
Amidst public scrutiny due to her association with Jeffrey Epstein, Sarah Ferguson has withdrawn from the public eye recently. Reports suggest she may temporarily head abroad to escape the media frenzy. A source disclosed that she will not be moving in with Andrew at the new property on the Sandringham Estate, nor will she join Princess Beatrice in the Cotswolds. Instead, Portugal, where her daughter Princess Eugenie resides, is a possible destination.
Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank have a home in Portugal since 2022, where they split their time with their London property. Sarah’s potential move overseas could shield her from ongoing media attention and allow her to spend time with her grandsons.
Despite the impending separation, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes that Sarah and Andrew will maintain a close connection and rely on each other for support. With Andrew’s move to the Sandringham estate, Jennie anticipates a period of reflection on his past decisions and hopes for a fresh start.
While Andrew faces the consequences of his actions and loss of royal privileges, he will still lead a comfortable life with support from his family. His daily activities may include horse riding, pheasant shooting, or leisurely pursuits, as he adjusts to his new circumstances.
