Overview
- A new biography by Robert Hardman reports that Prince William phoned Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on October 30, 2025, to offer condolences after his titles were removed, a detail that sources close to William have disputed.
- King Charles removed Andrew’s remaining royal titles in October 2025 and directed his exit from Royal Lodge following renewed scrutiny tied to Jeffrey Epstein files released in the United States.
- Andrew was arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office and released under investigation, with police yet to announce charges.
- Family contact has been sparse, with reports that Princess Anne called at Christmas and that Prince Edward and Sophie visited over Easter for a brotherly welfare check at Sandringham.
- Andrew has shifted from temporary lodging at Wood Farm to Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate, where he is keeping a lower profile as the inquiry continues.
