LONDON (AP) — Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the disgraced brother; king charles iiiis expected to go into internal exile, further hiding him from the eyes of a clearly angry British public.
30 Kicking him out of the room Royal Lodge From the grounds of Windsor Castle to one of the grounds on the King’s private estates sandringham In the east of England, it will symbolize the fall of former princes and dukes.
Andrew, 65, has lost the perks of title and status, but he doesn’t plan on slacking off.
But it is expulsion Nevertheless, Andrew would come under increasing scrutiny in both the UK and the US over his friendship with deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has denied allegations of inappropriate behavior during his long friendship with Epstein. virginia roberts giuffreclaimed that she had sex with a former prince when she was 17 years old.
Continue A long-standing scandal associated with AndrewPrince Charles arguably took the biggest step of his reign on Thursday by seeking to insulate the monarchy from any revelations arising from Andrew’s relationship with Epstein, who took his own life in prison while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in August 2019, more than a decade after his first conviction.
Andrew’s eviction won’t happen anytime soon.
Andrew has been told that his time at Royal Lodge, near Windsor Castle, where he has lived for more than 20 years, is coming to an end. He signed a 75-year lease with the Crown Estate in 2003. A Crown Estate is a portfolio of real estate nominally owned but not managed by the Crown.
He invested the necessary £7.5 million ($9.9 million) in renovating his home and now lives there for a peppercorn, a symbolic figure often used to satisfy legal requirements in real estate transactions.
His move won’t happen overnight. As we all know, moving, regardless of the size of your home, is a challenge at the best of times. Regardless of who helps Andrew, it will certainly take a lot of time to go through his belongings and decide what to take with him, donate to charity, and throw away.
There’s also the small matter of sharing the estate with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who has lived with Andrew at Royal Lodge since 2008, but Charles won’t be sacrificing him for a move to Sandringham.
Perhaps the time and effort isn’t a bad thing for the royal family as they try to isolate Andrew as Christmas approaches. The last words of the 76-year-old monarch, his son and heir to the throne prince williammembers hope Andrew will be within shouting distance on Christmas Day. Royal family goes to Mary Magdalene at the church on the Sandringham estate, before what was undoubtedly a grand banquet in Sandringham House, the king’s main residence, and its 100 or so rooms.
Andrew’s new home was loved by monarchs
So after all the festivities are over, Andrew is expected to move into a new home in one of the UK’s least densely populated counties.
Sandringham Estate is not an official royal residence, meaning it is not owned by the state, and Prince Charles hopes this fact will dampen public anger. Charles will finance Andrew’s emigration and provide his brother with an annual stipend from his personal funds. In effect, Andrew will not live out his vintage years at the expense of the British taxpayer.
Sandringham, the private residence of the last six British monarchs, is located about 180 kilometers north of London, surrounded by parks, gardens and farms. Owned by the Royal Family since 1862, it has been passed directly from monarch to monarch for over 160 years.
It is recorded in the Domesday Book, a land survey of England compiled by William the Conqueror in 1086, as ‘Santo Dersingham’, or the sandy part of Dersingham. It was later shortened to Sandringham.
Queen Victoria bought Sandringham for her eldest son Edward in 1862, largely in the hope that becoming a country gentleman would keep the playboy prince out of trouble at the nightspots of London, Paris, Monte Carlo and Biarritz. The future King Edward VII transformed the mansion into a modern country retreat that would be passed down from generation to generation.
Since then, monarchs have inherited and loved it. Charles was a fan from an early age, attending shooting parties in the 1950s and was photographed riding a horse and blowing a miniature hunting bugle.
options, choices
Speculation is mounting that Andrew may not move to Wood Farm, which is on the property his mother used to love. queen elizabeth ii And her father, Prince Philip, preferred cozy surroundings to grandiose main residences.
But there are many other properties, including Park House, his birthplace and childhood home. Princess Diana, Princess of Wales. The late princess continued to live there until her grandfather’s death in 1975.
York Cottage is another possibility. This is where Andrew’s great-grandfather, King George V, lived before becoming monarch in 1910.
The cottage is not a cottage in the traditional sense, as it has multiple bedrooms and a lake is nearby, but it was reportedly earmarked for William’s younger brother. prince harry With his wife Meghan Markle before she decided to give up royal life and move to the US
However, there may be one problem with York Cottage, which is often used as holiday accommodation. After all, it is the same name of the principality that Andrew once owned – a constant reminder of what happened.
Another option for Andrew could be the Garden House, where the estate’s head gardener once lived. According to the Sandringham website, it has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and is being used as a holiday home.
Andrew is certain to significantly downsize The Folly, which was once a hunting lodge and a place for the ladies to enjoy afternoon tea. There are only three bedrooms, but as a single man, do you really need more?
