Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor not only lost his royal titles amid public criticism over his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but he was also forced to leave his residence of 20 years. Keep reading to learn about where Andrew is living now and why the eviction was a strong message to the public from the monarchy.
Where Did Prince Andrew Move From?
The former Prince Andrew lived at Royal Lodge, a 30-room estate nestled in Windsor Great Park. It was built in the 1800s and used as a beloved country retreat for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the parents of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret. Andrew moved into the residence with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, after Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's death in 2002.

Although Andrew stepped back from his royal duties in 2019 under the recommendation of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles took further measures to sever his brother from the royal family in 2025. Andrew came under fresh scrutiny after the release of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody's Girl, where she alleged she had sex with Andrew when she was 17. In addition, documents released by the United States Department of Justice showed further ties between Andrew, Epstein, and Ferguson.
In October 2025, Buckingham Palace released a statement that it "initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew,” noting he would be now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The statement also specified that Andrew would be forced to move from Royal Lodge into another "private accommodation."

"These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him," the palace said at the time. "Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse."

Where Is Prince Andrew Living Now?
After leaving Royal Lodge, Andrew moved into Wood Farm on Sandringham while his new home, Marsh Farm, went through extensive renovations. Wood Farm, a five-bedroom secluded estate, is a favorite of the royal family and where Prince Philip lived after he retired from his royal duties in 2017.
Wood Lodge is where Andrew was arrested in February 2026 on his 66th birthday in connection with an investigation into misconduct in public office related to his ties to Epstein. He was released after 11 hours and returned to Wood Farm under investigation.
Andrew was reportedly “dragging his feet” about leaving Wood Lodge, The Sun reported. Things came to a head when Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, were annoyed about Andrew still living at the property and they were unable to stay at the residence over Easter weekend.
The disgraced prince has reportedly officially moved into Marsh Farm, per Daily Mail, as he was seen walking his dog near the property on April 6.

Andrew living at Royal Lodge sent a message to the public that King Charles still supported his brother, both emotionally and financially. The monarch’s actions come under public scrutiny because taxpayer dollars fund the British Royal Family, primarily through an annual payment known as the Sovereign Grant, according to the House of Commons Library. In 2024, author Robert Hardman claimed in his book, Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, that Charles cut his brother off financially in the wake of public criticism.

Charles reportedly instructed the Keeper of the Privy Purse to end Andrew’s estimated $1.3 million (£1 million) a year personal allowance and stop paying for his seven-figure private security, Hardman claimed in his book, per an excerpt by the Daily Mail.
