A source told

"The clutter at Royal Lodge is turning what should be a straightforward move into a months-long, room-by-room excavation," the source said. "It's all going to be painfully slow, especially with refurbishment work to complete at the other end. These aren't the kind of belongings you can sweep into a skip. Even if Andrew wanted to move tomorrow, he couldn't.'"

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor resided at Royal Lodge for decades with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who was also ousted for her friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

King Charles III officially banished Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from The Firm after his recent scandal exploded. "Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues," Buckingham Palace confirmed in a
statement.
