Overview
- The Gazette published orders removing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the Order of the Garter and the Royal Victorian Order, with the entry backdated to October 30, 2025.
- Andrew has been told to vacate the Royal Lodge at Windsor, with a move to accommodation on the Sandringham Estate planned and the timing reported as slipping from late December to as far as February 2026.
- The Crown Estate told Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee that the Royal Lodge’s repair needs mean Andrew is unlikely to receive the roughly £488,000 early-exit payment implied by his lease.
- Committee chair Geoffrey Clifton-Brown plans to examine Crown Estate arrangements, which have drawn scrutiny after revelations that Andrew paid no rent under his long lease.
- Sarah Ferguson is seeking a separate home near Windsor, while media coverage features unverified new allegations from a biographer and speculative reports about potential memoir deals.
