Prince Andrew latest: Former royal ‘refused to sign off statements supporting abuse survivors’

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor will be moved out of Royal Lodge and into the Sandringham estate after King Charles stripped him of his royal titles.

The vast land includes 16,000 acres of farmland, 3,500 acres of woodland and 150 properties.

We’ve taken a look at the most likely options for Andrew’s new home…

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor told disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein it would be “good to catch up in person” months after the paedophile was released from prison for prostituting minors, court documents show.

In an email on April 15 2010, following a suggestion from Epstein that the then-prince should meet American banker Jes Staley, Andrew said he would try to “drop by” New York later in the year.

The two were later pictured together in Central Park in New York in December 2010 in a meeting Andrew claimed in his 2019 Newsnight interview was to break off their friendship.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have moved into their “forever home” of Forest Lodge as they look for more space to accommodate family life.

But the move brings the Waleses closer to Prince William’s disgraced uncle, who is expected to occupy Royal Lodge until after Christmas.

The broadcaster told the BBC that the King’s brother – who denies the allegations against him – no longer had anyone protecting him.

He said Andrew had been “buried alive” and he was “amazed” at the plans to take his last military honour away from him.

“But I wonder whether the Americans will think, ‘okay, we can now go for him’. I would reckon in the next five years he’ll be in an American jail.”

He added: “I think they’ll start some extradition proceedings on him. Because now he has no protection… That must be a signal to the FBI and others that they can now look into him properly.”

But sources have told The Telegraph his now-former home is in dire need of repairs and maintenance – and that Andrew may end up out of pocket if costs are deducted from his package.

Queen Camilla was “concerned” sex abuse allegations against Andrew Mountbatten Windsor would impact her work with abuse survivors, it has been reported.

The Queen has worked for years to support survivors of sexual and domestic violence and highlight organisations supporting victims of rape and sexual assault.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor reportedly fixed a visit to Buckingham Palace for businessmen working for a cryptocurrency mining company with £1.4m ties to his ex-wife, it has been reported.

Founders of Pegasus Group Holdings, who employed Sarah Ferguson as a brand ambassador, were given a private tour of the palace while the late Queen was in residence, according to the BBC.

The scheme Ms Ferguson promoted then failed less than a year later, losing investors millions.
