The former prince Andrew has been told to leave his current Windsor mansion of Royal Lodge and move to a much smaller property on the Windsor estate – but it seems there is a hold up
Everything you need to know about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s move from Royal Lodge
- It was believed that the move would take place as soon as practically possible with early reports suggesting this could happen in the New Year after the Royal Family has spent the Christmas period at Sandringham. Tradtionally the whole of the Firm gather at the Norfolk estate for festivities.
- Now it has been reported that Andrew’s move could be delayed even further – possibly until February due to struggles over him downsizing. According to The Sun, the move could actually be delayed until February as moving out of such a grand home into a smaller one would take time – and it is unclear if his new home would be ready.
- It means that Andrew will definitely spend one last Christmas at his Royal Lodge home, with him not believed to have been invited to Sandringham to spend the festive season with the rest of the Firm. He did not join them last year either.
- Sources say it is a welcome relief to the Royal Family because it keeps Andrew away from Sandringham during the festive season, when most of the senior royals are in residence. This situation would have been “suboptimal” and “quite awkward,” insiders believe.
