JRAA/ZDS/WENN/MEGA Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor isn't rushing out of Royal Lodge. "You're not going to see the removal vans outside Royal Lodge anytime soon," a source told The Times. Mountbatten-Windsor currently lives on the property with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who is now looking for a new home. "She wants to stay in the U.K., ideally in the Windsor area, and she wants to have her own base so that she can live independently and continue to pursue many things as Sarah Ferguson," the source noted. RPE / MEGA TheMegaAgency.com Despite Mountbatten-Windsor being publicly kicked out of Royal Lodge, royal author Robert Jobson doesn't think the ex-duke will move out until February of next year. "Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor seems to be kicking his heels," Jobson told Hello!. "The disgraced royal has made it clear to the King and courtiers who sent him packing that he is going nowhere fast." "Despite formal notice being served in October to surrender his Royal Lodge lease, he won't budge until February at the earliest, suggesting he will spend Christmas at Royal Lodge while the King invites the rest of his close family to Sandringham," he continued. @bbcnews In her memoir, Virginia Giuffre alleges that she had sex with Prince Andrew on three separate occasions. In 2019, Prince Andrew said on BBC Newsnight that he had no recollection of ever meeting Ms Giuffre, and has always denied wrongdoing. #PrinceAndrew #VirginiaGiuffre #BBCNews ♬ original sound - BBC News - BBC News Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his home and title after Virginia Giuffre's assault allegations against him resurfaced due to her posthumous memoir. However, Mountbatten-Windsor can't make a quick transition out of his royal estate. "Why the delay? Logistics. Moving two decades of accumulated life from 30 rooms into a modest cottage takes time, close sources say," Jobson explained. "It is understood Andrew's Sandringham property isn't ready. Downsizing is complex, the Palace says." "But understanding doesn't mean sympathy," he added. "Sources say Andrew is 'leaning on every technical step available' to slow the process. Delay as strategy. Why rush to your own diminishment?" Buckingham Palace announced its decision shortly after Giuffre's book was published. "His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honors of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor," the palace said. "His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence," they continued. "Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him." @officialthetruth LAST PART OF PRINCE ANDREWS INTERVIEW #princeandrew #epstein #fyp #tiktokdoc ♬ I Got 5 On It - Tethered Mix from US - Michael Abels & Luniz King Charles III and Queen Camilla shared their support for assault survivors at the end of their announcement.
