Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson: The Two Homes They Want 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 each receive a new home 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 surged following the posthumous memoir of Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexual assault, reigniting scrutiny over the royal family’s public accountability. Reports suggest both King Charles and Prince William want a resolution that minimizes damage to the monarchy’s reputation. After recent revelations and public backlash, Andrew relinquished his Duke of York title and all honorary military titles, while Ferguson also gave up her duchess title. Now, they are reportedly willing to vacate the 30-room Royal Lodge, but with the condition that each gets a new residence. Andrew wants Frogmore Cottage—the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—while Ferguson is seeking Adelaide Cottage, which William and Kate will soon vacate upon moving to Forest Lodge. “No one is sure yet how palace discussions will end,” said a source familiar with the talks. “Andrew is willing to leave, but these are his demands. He’s realistic and knows his time at this property is over.” The pair have lived together since 2008 despite their divorce. “It’s incredible they’re ready to go separate ways, but it shows the immense pressure they’ve faced this year and how much they need space from each other. It’s a fresh start for both,” the source added.
