Disgraced former royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a> has sparked concern among palace insiders after a crate of champagne was delivered to his home at Royal Lodge \u2013 days after he was stripped of his remaining titles<\/a> and told to vacate the property.<\/p>\n The 65-year-old, who can no longer use the title “prince,” is said to be “devastated” after King Charles<\/a> confirmed he must move out of his 30-room Windsor estate<\/a>, where he has lived for more than two decades.<\/p>\n The move comes as part of a wider effort by the King to streamline royal finances and distance the monarchy from the scandals surrounding Andrew’s association with convicted s– offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n Witnesses reported seeing a delivery van arrive at the Royal Lodge gates on Friday, November 7, dropping off a box of Devaux champagne worth nearly $50 per bottle \u2013 or about $400 for a home-delivered case of six.<\/p>\n A member of staff collected the package before disappearing through a side entrance. The sighting raised eyebrows among staff and neighbors alike, especially as Andrew claims he has long been teetotal.<\/p>\n A household source said: “It’s not a good look to have champagne being dropped off when the man’s just been stripped of everything. Whether it’s for him or not, people are definitely talking.”<\/p>\n Another insider suggested the alcohol delivery reflected the somber mood at Royal Lodge in recent weeks.<\/p>\n “He’s been under huge pressure,” the source said. “There’s anger, sadness, and a lot of confusion. Some of the staff think he’s trying to keep up appearances, but others worry he’s simply drowning his sorrows \u2013 literally.”<\/p>\n Andrew, who continues to deny all allegations linking him to Epstein<\/a> and Virginia Giuffre<\/a>, is expected to vacate Royal Lodge by early next year. He is due to move into a smaller property on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, thought to be being paid for by the King from his private funds. The arrangement is seen as a compromise to prevent a public eviction of Andrew from the Royal Lodge.<\/p>\n Aides have described the move as a “final measure” following months of tension over Andrew’s refusal to voluntarily step down from Royal Lodge. “The King tried to give him every chance to handle this privately and with dignity, but he refused to budge,” said a senior palace source. “With his titles now removed, there’s simply no way he can remain there for much longer.”<\/p>\n Also residing at the property is Andrew’s former wife, Sarah Ferguson<\/a>, 66, who continues to live in a separate wing of the mansion. Sources claim the pair lead largely independent lives, though they occasionally share meals. “They’re civil, but it’s hardly a peaceful atmosphere,” said one insider. “She mostly keeps to herself by the bar area, chatting with the staff. It’s been an incredibly tense period for them both.”<\/p>\n There is speculation Andrew and Ferguson may leave the U.K. altogether<\/a> once the move is finalized.<\/p>\n A friend of Ferguson’s said: “Sarah’s always managed to land on her feet, but lately the social invitations have vanished. She’s been saying she might spend more time overseas \u2013 she feels there’s little keeping her in Britain now.”<\/p>\n Read more at OK!<\/a><\/p>\n Get OK!’s biggest scoops and scandals delivered right to your inbox.
