Royal Family LIVE: Prince Andrew and Fergie make Royal Lodge demand | Royal | News
Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson have agreed to leave the Royal Lodge after public outrage over their occupation of the 30-room mansion on peppercorn-rent, according to reports.
However, the former Duke and Duchess of York, who surrendered their titles amid backlash to their respective links with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, are said to have insisted that they get a new home each in return.
Andrew, whose relationship with Epstein has dogged him for over a decade, has his eye on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s former home of Frogmore Cottage, while Sarah wants Adelaide Cottage, the Windsor residence Prince William and Princess Kate will vacate next month.
“No one is really sure how it’s going to go down at the palace yet,” a source told The Sun. “Andy is willing to leave, but these are his demands. He is realistic and knows the writing is on the wall and that his time at the Royal Lodge is up.
“Sarah and Andy have lived together at Royal Lodge since 2008 despite being divorced … It’s incredible that they are willing to go their separate ways. But it indicates that they have been under immense strain this year and need a break from each other. It’s a fresh start for both.”
