After abruptly leaving Royal Lodge, disgraced Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has started a new chapter at The Firm’s most somber residence.
Andrew departed his Windsor Great Park mansion sooner than expected following reports of fresh allegations involving Jeffrey Epstein arranging for a woman to engage in sexual activities with the former prince at the 30-bedroom grace and favour home. A spokesperson from Thames Valley police stated, “We are currently reviewing information regarding a woman reportedly taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes. We are treating this matter seriously and urge anyone with relevant information to come forward. As of now, neither the woman’s lawyer nor the woman herself has reported these allegations to Thames Valley police.”
Until recently, the ex-Duke of York resided at the £30 million Royal Lodge with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, famously known as the “happiest divorced couple in the world“. However, their living situation changed abruptly in October due to scandal surrounding their association with Epstein. It is reported that Andrew was asked to vacate the premises earlier than planned by his elder brother, King Charles, after new documents linked Andrew to Epstein through an email allegedly written by Ghislaine Maxwell. Andrew has consistently denied any involvement.
Andrew is now expected to reside temporarily at Wood Farm Cottage. This location brings back memories of a past scandal involving Andrew and Sarah. In 1992, just months after their separation announcement, photos surfaced showing Fergie with her American financial advisor, John Bryan, in a compromising position. Prince Philip was so upset that he excluded her from the traditional Christmas celebrations at Sandringham.
During that time, Sarah dined alone at Wood Farm, a secluded five-bedroom cottage on the Sandringham Estate, while her daughters attended the royal Christmas gathering. Despite its picturesque views, Wood Farm Cottage has a reputation as a retreat for divorced individuals and holds a tragic history associated with a forgotten family member.
