Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Demand Two Homes from King Charles to Leave Royal Lodge

Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson appear ready to leave their luxurious Windsor residence, Royal Lodge—but only if they receive two homes in return. The former couple, long linked to convicted sex offender financier Jeffrey Epstein, have become a liability for the royal family. Recent public interest has reignited following the posthumous memoirs of Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexual assault, renewing scrutiny over royal accountability. Reports suggest both King Charles and Prince William want a resolution that minimizes damage to the monarchy’s reputation. After recent scandals, Andrew relinquished his Duke of York title and all honorary military roles, while Ferguson also gave up her duchess title. Now, they are reportedly willing to vacate the 30-room Royal Lodge, but only if each receives a new home. Andrew wants Frogmore Cottage, formerly occupied by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, while Ferguson is seeking Adelaide Cottage in Windsor—soon to be vacated by Prince William and Kate Middleton as they move to Forest Lodge. ‘No one is sure yet how palace talks will conclude,’ said a source familiar with negotiations. ‘Andrew is willing to leave, but these are his demands. He’s realistic—he knows his time at the property is over.’ The source added, ‘Sarah and Andrew have lived together since 2008 despite being divorced. It’s remarkable they’re now ready to go separate ways—proof of immense pressure this year and a need for space. It’s a fresh start for both.’
