Overview
- Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is the subject of a developing investigation into alleged misconduct in public office tied to his ties with Jeffrey Epstein and has denied any wrongdoing.
- The former Duke of York relinquished the Royal Lodge lease earlier this year and is now reported to be living near Sandringham after moving out of the Windsor property.
- Despite divorcing in the 1990s the two maintained separate apartments at Royal Lodge from 2008 until the lease was given up, a living arrangement commentators say served both family and commercial purposes.
- Royal biographer Andrew Lownie has renewed scrutiny of Sarah Ferguson’s 1996 memoir, saying an anecdote about borrowing Princess Diana’s shoes contributed to a lasting rift between the two women.
- Ferguson has kept a low public profile with reported travel to Austria and unconfirmed speculation that she might pursue a paid memoir or interview, while her office has issued no official statement.
