- Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson have reportedly been given a Jan. 31 deadline to vacate Royal Lodge.
- Fergie is now said to be looking for a new home in Windsor.
- Andrew is expected to be relocated to King Charles’ Sandringham estate, though which specific property he’ll receive remains undecided.
Big news, everyone: The Royal Lodge eviction saga is coming to a close sooner than you think. According a source for People, the disgraced ex-prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson now have a firm deadline for when they’re expected to move out of the 30-room Windsor estate...and apparently, that date is just about two months away on January 31, 2026.
The insider also noted that—despite the many rumors circulating about where Fergie plans to relocate—the former duchess is reportedly “looking for a place in Windsor,” which is a big change from what has been previously reported.
(For the record: Since her and Andrew’s eviction from Royal Lodge was announced in late October, various sources have indicated that she could potentially be moving to Princess Eugenie’s place in Portugal, Princess Beatrice’s “granny annex” in the Cotswolds, a “tiny one-bedroom flat” in London, or even to Beverly Hills).
And what’s next for Andrew, you ask? He’s reportedly being relocated to King Charles’ Sandringham estate in Norfolk (which is just under a three-hour drive from Windsor), but it’s unclear which property he’ll be taking.
As The Times previously reported, there are several homes on the estate that Andrew could move into, including York Cottage (which was “previously been used as holiday accommodation, the estate office and accommodation for estate employees”), the six-bedroom Gardens House, Park House (where Princess Diana was born), or Wood Farm (which Prince Phillip used as a private retreat).
According to the Daily Beast, Andrew is demanding a “six- or seven-bedroom” property on the estate, while Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop noted that his “replacement” home must have access to “a cook, a gardener, a housekeeper, a driver,” and police protection.
Plus £75,000,000 for the trouble of moving, reportedly. And that’s on top of the compensation he’s expected to receive from the Crown Estate for the early termination of his 75-year lease. But there’s a catch...
