Prince Andrew, King Charles’s younger brother, continues to keep a low profile following the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. However, his living arrangements remain firmly in the spotlight.
The Duke of York still resides at Royal Lodge, a sprawling £30 million residence he shares with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. Despite years of speculation that he would be forced to leave the 30-room property, Andrew has yet to vacate.
Reports from Us Weekly paint a less than regal picture of the home’s current state. The Grade II-listed mansion is said to be plagued by damp, cracks, and other visible signs of wear and tear, with images revealing the decline. Bringing the estate back to its former glory could reportedly cost millions.
Royal Lodge, which passed to Andrew after the Queen Mother’s death in 2002, remains an architectural jewel with its grand façade, lavish interiors, and vast grounds. Whispers of Prince Andrew’s eviction from Royal Lodge are nothing new. The Duke of York has been fighting to remain in the historic 19th-century, 90-acre estate which belongs to The Crown Estate since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
In 2023, his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, addressed the speculation during an interview with Samara Garcia Mendez from HOLA! TV, dismissing the rumours with a casual warning: “Don’t always believe what you read,” in response to claims that the couple might be relocating to Frogmore Cottage.
Now, with Sarah under renewed scrutiny over her links to Jeffrey Epstein and facing growing backlash from charities severing ties with her, debates over the future of Royal Lodge have resurfaced. The question of whether Andrew and Sarah will stay or go is once again capturing public attention.
