remaining eighth in line for the throne, despite losing his titles....

Britain’s King Charles III has stripped his brother Prince Andrew of his remaining titles and evicted him from his royal residence due to sexual assault allegations and his close friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

According to the royal family, from now on, the former prince will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and must vacate the Royal Lodge mansion near Windsor Castle, where he has lived for more than 20 years. Andrew, who surrendered his use of the title Duke of York earlier this month, will move to “alternative private accommodation,” Buckingham Palace said on Thursday.

“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,” the statement said.

According to the BBC, Andrew remains eighth in line to the British throne, despite losing his titles.

In 2022, Andrew settled a civil lawsuit with US activist Virginia Giuffre, who alleged that he had raped her three times in 2001, when she was 17 years old. Giuffre, who committed suicide in April, claimed that Epstein and his girlfriend, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, had trafficked her to the royal. Andrew maintains that the alleged incidents “never happened” and insists that he was unaware of Epstein’s crimes when he hosted him and Maxwell at Royal Lodge in 2006.

Interest in the Epstein case was reignited earlier this year when US government agencies said they had found no evidence of foul play in his 2019 death in a Manhattan jail, which was ruled a suicide. Officials also denied that the disgraced financier had kept a list of the wealthy people he allegedly trafficked women to. Giuffre’s memoirs were posthumously released in October, bringing renewed attention to Andrew’s ties to Epstein.

 Andrew's move solves a possible headache for the Waleses
 

Royal Lodge, the house Andrew will soon leave, is just a short walk from the Prince and Princess of Wales' new home.

William and Catherine are set to move into Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park, an eight-bedroom home which is just 1.34 miles (2.15km) from Royal Lodge as the crow flies. 

William and Catherine's move has been characterised as a "fresh start" after a challenging period that included the princess's cancer diagnosis.

"It's an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind," a royal source told us earlier this year.

There had been some speculation Andrew could move into another Windsor property, but his move to Sandringham means the future King and Queen will have distance - literally - from the scandal-hit former prince.

Buckigham Palace has confirmed Andrew will be moving some 140 miles (225km) north-east of his Windsor mansion to Sandringham - and away from senior royals like the King and Queen, who reside in London, and the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Some assumed Andrew would move from Royal Lodge to another property on the Windsor estate, Frogmore Cottage for example, royal biographer Robert Hardman told the BBC earlier.

"But no," he says, "he's off the estate, he's out of Windsor, he's out of royal Berkshire - he's been sent up the M11 to the royal equivalent of Siberia to sit in Sandringham for the rest of his life."

"This is - some might say brutal, others might say definitive."

no hurry....

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor will not have to leave Royal Lodge immediately and could move to Sandringham as late as the new year, the BBC understands. 

On Thursday, King Charles stripped his younger brother of his titles and honours, and moved to force him out of his Windsor mansion. He will be moving to a property on the King's Norfolk estate, paid for by the monarch.

The dramatic statement came after months of pressure over Andrew's private life, as his ties to disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein continued to dog the royals. Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.

Meanwhile, the government has said it had no plans to pass a law to formally remove Andrew from the line of succession.
