Less than two weeks after Andrew relinquished his Duke of York title, King Charles put his foot down with his younger brother. The monarch not only took away his sibling’s prince title, but he also evicted him from the Royal Lodge estate where Andrew and Sarah Ferguson had been living.

The statement released by Buckingham Palace on Oct. 30 read: “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew. 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 to deny the allegations against him. Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”

There’s no timetable for when Andrew and Fergie will vacate Royal Lodge, but a source close to them is revealing that the moving out process may take longer than expected because they have a whole lot of stuff inside the 30-room home.

The insider told the Daily Mail: “The Amazon deliveries that go up to Royal Lodge are unbelievable. There are rooms full of boxes that haven’t even been opened. It will take weeks, if not months to shift all their s*** out.”

It’s been reported that Andrew will relocate to a private home on the family’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk, while his former wife will have to come up with her own accommodations.
