When is Andrew Mountbatten Windsor moving out of Royal Lodge, is Sarah Ferguson still there?
At the end of October this year, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Andrew will be leaving Royal Lodge and will lose his prince title.
Buckingham Palace released a statement in October of this year on behalf of King Charles which read: “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honours of Prince Andrew.
“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
“His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.
“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.
“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.”
On October 17, 2025, the then Prince Andrew released a statement which read: “In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.
“I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life. With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further.
“ I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”
When is Andrew Mountbatten Windsor moving out of Royal Lodge?
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is currently still living at Royal Lodge and according to reports, might not move to Sandringham until the New Year. It is thought that Sarah Ferguson is still living at Royal Lodge at present.
However, her spokesman told People magazine that “She is assessing a number of options currently, and no final decision has been made. People magazine also reported that “The spokesman debunked a recent report that Sarah may live in an annex or converted barn at the country home of her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, saying it was not correct.”
In October a source told People that "Contrary to reports, she has never asked for a property or any provision for herself," and also added that "She will continue to forge an independent life."
Sarah Ferguson last posted on Instagram in October and wrote: “Today, we pause to remember the lives lost and forever changed on September 11th, 2001.
“I was in New York at the time, and like so many, I will never forget the shock, the heartbreak, and the extraordinary courage I witnessed that day. Out of unimaginable tragedy came stories of kindness, unity, and resilience that continue to inspire us all.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost loved ones, the survivors, and the first responders whose bravery and selflessness remind us of the very best of humanity.”
