Nono longer prince, no longer duke of Yorkdeprived of all honors and military positions, evicted from his beloved Royal home, Andrea no longer appears on the Royal Family’s official website. Every mention of him and every biographical note were removed a week after the announcement made by Carlo. The new blue-blooded commoner, who is now forced to simply call himself Andrea Mountbatten Windsor and will soon be exiled to a remote corner of Sandringham, thus suffering the shame of being erased, forgotten forever.
The former Prince Andrew in the corner: the bank account is crying
Eliminated from the Royal Family, alone and abandoned even by his ex Sarah Ferguson, Andrea now has to deal with other problems of a more practical nature. First of all, severance pay of over 600 thousand euros, which King Charles had allocated for his benefit. A sum that should have financed the move and helped him with his daily expenses at least for a few years. Officially, in fact, Andrea now has no source of income. But the Crown’s advisors pointed out a detail to the sovereign which suddenly forced him to revise the offer.
King Charles keeps part of the money allocated for his brother
The problem is Royal Lodgethe home of Windsor where Andrea has lived for over twenty years and from which he was evicted. Today the vast 30-bedroom residence shows all the signs of obvious neglect. Crumbling walls, never rebuilt avenues, pipes to be replaced, damaged roof, chain infiltrations: the residence so dear to the Queen Mother, who used it for half a century as a country residence, it requires such a quantity of work that it has pushed Carlo to review the amount allocated for his brother. And having made a summary estimate of the renovation, the sovereign decided to withhold a large part of the check.

Ex-Prince Andrew has too much stuff to move to Sandringham
Financial problems are starting to arise now: how will you pay for the moving operations? His very few collaborators have already started boxing up his possessions, but the former duke is a real one compulsive hoarder. The quantity of clothes and personal effects, the vast collection of artistic treasures collected over the years, the fine furniture, the books, without forgetting the collection of dozens of rare teddy bears of stuffed animals that he keeps tidy on the bed, will require complicated and expensive organization that will take months to complete.
A new book full of burning details
Meanwhile, speculation about the former prince’s lifestyle continues. After Virginia Giuffre’s pushumous memoirhis main accuser, on November 6th another book will arrive in English bookstores that points the finger at Andrea’s un-Royal lifestyle: The Windsor Legacy: A Royal Dynasty of Secrets, Scandal and Survival (The Windsor legacy: a Royal dynasty of secrets, scandals and survival), signed by the English royal watcher Robert Jobson and published by the publishing house Blink Publishing.
Obscenity at Sandringham, the king’s sacred estate
Andrea had hosted the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell several times in the Royal residences (now locked up in an American prison). Even sexual predator Harvey Weinstein was invited to Royal Lodge and Windsor Castle for Beatrice’s 18th birthday masquerade party. But Jobson goes further and his latest book reveals obscene details about parties organized by Andrea at Sandringhamthe Royal Christmas estate. Or to be more precise, theafter partywhen, once the guests had left, the cleaning staff entered the rooms.
The parties disguised as hunting trips
The next day, Royal waiters found signs of clearly sexual parties in the rooms and bathrooms, such as condoms and drug remnants. Where did those narcotic substances come from?, the English media are now asking. Andrea – who apparently also had the habit of promising his rich friends a tour of the Royal houses in exchange for financial favors for himself and ex Fergie – he always defended himself: they were just “innocent” hunting trips. But now few are willing to believe it.
