"Unless Fergie knows something about her ex-husband that we don't, I think she'll continue to be part of his life, even if she doesn't share his new home," royal correspondent
Jennie Bond told
The Mirror. "They've shared so much, good and bad, it's hard to see how they would ever be truly divorced."
Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were forced to leave Royal Lodge and stripped of their titles due to the ex-duke's ties to
Jeffrey Epstein and sexual assault allegations. However, the former couple — who have lived together for nearly two decades since their divorce — is now rumored to be moving into separate properties.

"I guess when you hit rock bottom, there's nowhere else to go but up," Jennie Bond continued. "And, stripped of his status and titles, evicted from his home and exiled from royal events, Andrew must surely be at rock bottom by now. Although, of course, a royal or even ex-royal rock bottom is undoubtedly rather different from the conventional one."

Despite stripping his brother of his princely status, King Charles III is still expected to make housing accommodations for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
"Andrew is not going to be sleeping rough or going hungry. He probably won't even be doing his own washing or cooking," Jennie Bond noted. "He is going to be looked after by his big brother, given a home in a beautiful part of the U.K., and will almost certainly have staff to take care of his every need."

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is reportedly moving into Marsh Farm, a property located on the Sandringham Estate.
"All he has to do is work out how to fill his days. A spot of horse riding? A pheasant shoot? Perhaps a quiet afternoon of video games? The choice will be his," Jennie Bond said.

"I suspect he will divide his time between Sandringham and, in years to come, prolonged visits to the Middle East, where he still has connections and wealthy friends," Jennie Bond continued. "And Andrew has always been drawn to money, like a moth to a flame."
