Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have been given a final eviction date from Royal Lodge, with a source confirming to HELLO! that they must vacate the property by 25 January. The former Duchess of York, 66, is said to be 'ready to spread her wings' and will not move with Andrew to Marsh Farm on the King's Sandringham estate, nor reside with her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, in the Cotswolds.
The source revealed that Sarah is considering moving in with her younger daughter, Princess Eugenie, in Portugal while she searches for a permanent home. Andrew, 65, has reportedly retreated into his own world, ceasing to read newspapers or engage with current events. The couple's daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, continue to see their father, though Sarah remains 'very upset' over the circumstances.
The eviction follows a public outcry over Andrew's peppercorn rent for the 30-room property, which he has occupied since 2004. He gave the minimum 12 months' notice to surrender Royal Lodge on 30 October 2025, the same day he was stripped of all titles due to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Removal vans have been seen at Royal Lodge, while renovations, including security lights and fences, are underway at Marsh Farm.
Sarah Ferguson previously lost her courtesy title, Duchess of York, when the dukedom was removed from Andrew. However, the HRH status and titles of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie remain unaffected. The couple made a low-key appearance at their granddaughter's christening in early December but did not attend the royal Christmas gathering at Sandringham.
