Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been compelled to depart Royal Lodge in a late-night operation, following a series of alarming new revelations contained within the recently released Jeffrey Epstein files. The former Duke of York was instructed to leave his residence sooner than initially scheduled, as King Charles III grew increasingly troubled by the escalating allegations against his brother.
Mounting Pressure and Disturbing Disclosures
This abrupt relocation comes directly after the publication of a particularly damning email, in which Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor seemingly told the convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein that he desired to be his 'pet'. Concurrently, police authorities have announced they will be assessing a fresh allegation that Epstein trafficked a second woman to the United Kingdom specifically for the purpose of having sex with the disgraced former prince.
A Sudden and Secretive Departure
It is now understood that Andrew has vacated the opulent, 31-room Royal Lodge estate, valued at approximately £30 million. This exit occurred roughly three months after he formally handed back the lease on the property. Sources indicate he was transported 'in the darkness of night', driven a distance of 132 miles to the Sandringham Estate.
His temporary accommodation will be Wood Farm Cottage, with plans to move permanently into the neighbouring Marsh Farm by the beginning of April, once ongoing renovation work is fully completed.
A Matter of Conscience and Duty
The former prince now faces intensifying pressure to cooperate fully with United States officials who are actively investigating Epstein's extensive crimes. Royal insiders have characterised the decision to provide testimony as a 'matter of personal conscience' for Andrew, in addition to being a clear public duty.
While Buckingham Palace has maintained its official stance of declining to comment on the latest material from the US Department of Justice file release, sources close to the royal household emphasised a fundamental principle: those possessing relevant information should participate in any lawful inquiry.
Public Scrutiny and Royal Reaction
These developments have significantly amplified calls for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to end his self-imposed public silence and engage openly with the investigations into Epstein's criminal network. This stands in stark contrast to his recent public appearances in Windsor, where he was photographed smiling and waving to onlookers, seemingly without concern.
It is further understood that King Charles III was not previously aware of the granular detail contained within the latest file disclosures, which lay bare the profound depth of the relationship between his brother and the paedophile financier. Remarkably, Buckingham Palace itself appears to be learning the specifics of this new material contemporaneously with the general public.
The released files also include a photograph showing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor crouched over an unidentified woman, adding another layer of visual evidence to the written correspondence and allegations that continue to emerge from this long-running scandal.
