King Charles III kicked Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor out of Royal Lodge due to his ties to
Jeffrey Epstein and sexual assault allegations, and now, the former duke is moving into Marsh Farm.
"It was the first time he's seen his new house, and he is resigned to the fact that this is his future," a friend told
The Sun.

"He's come to the conclusion that he has to get on with the rest of his life and accepts he has to make the best of it," the insider continued.

A local revealed she couldn't believe Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was "downgrading" to Marsh Farm, which is a five-bedroom farmhouse.
"There's barely any drive," she added. "He'll be right on the road. He won't get much peace."

Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of sexual assault, detailed her interactions with the former Duke of York in her posthumous memoir. Shortly after the book's release, King Charles III stripped his brother of his privileged life.
"His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honors of Prince Andrew," Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "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," the statement continued. "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 to deny the allegations against him."
