The former Duke of York is to move to Sandringham Estate.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (born Prince Andrew) has officially left his long-time home at the Royal Lodge in Berkshire, England. Just months ago, his brother King Charles III ordered him to give up the lease following renewed interest in his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
On Tuesday, the BBC reported that the one-time Duke of York had moved out of the home he had lived in for more than two decades. He will temporarily move to a property on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, although he is expected to settle at another nearby home, Marsh Farm, after renovations.

Thames Valley Police also announced they were investigating newly discovered allegations against Mountbatten-Windsor. Authorities are investigating an alleged incident at the Royal Hotel in 2010 after the Justice Department released the latest Epstein files.
“We are aware of reports that a woman was taken to an address in Windsor to perform sex acts in 2010,” Thames Valley Police said in a statement, according to Sky News. “We are assessing the information in accordance with established procedures.”
“We take any reports of sexual offenses very seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward. At this time neither solicitors nor their clients have reported these allegations to Thames Valley Police.”

In a historic move last October, King Charles III revoked the royal titles and privileges of the former Prince Andrew.
“His Majesty the King has today initiated a formal process to strip Prince Andrew of his titles, titles and honours,” a Buckingham Palace statement said. “Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.”
The same statement also confirmed that Mountbatten-Windsor would be moving out of his long-term home at the Royal Hotel.
“His lease at the Royal Villa has hitherto provided him with legal protection for his continued residence. Formal notice has now been served requiring him to abandon the lease and he will move to other private accommodation. Although he continues to deny the charges against him, these denunciations are deemed necessary.”
