However, he was finally given his eviction notice and stripped of his titles by his brother last month as the outcry hit fever pitch. <\/p>\n<p>It was then widely reported that the disgraced former prince would be relocating to one of the King\u2019s private residences on the Sandringham estate, in Norfolk in England\u2019s east.<\/p>\n<p>But according to Lownie, this is not likely to be a long-term plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI personally don\u2019t think that he\u2019s going to end up at Sandringham, I think that charges will be brought against him and he will flee to the Middle East or somewhere \u2026 but that\u2019s only me speculating,\u201d he told the <i><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/royals\/andrew-mountbatten-windsor-could-quit-36302653\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mirror<\/a><\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Lownie noted, Andrew might be downgrading from his palatial royal home \u2013 but he\u2019ll still be living very comfortably.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not going to a house that is that much smaller,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not going to a two-up, two down. He\u2019s going to have staff, I think that they\u2019re playing all this down but he\u2019s not going to be shopping in (budget supermarketr) Lidl. He\u2019s going to be paid quite a lot of money to move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Lownie explained, Andrew has maintained connections with the United Arab Emirates over the years, and has a close friendship with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, whom he first met in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>Lownies\u2019s prediction about Andrew\u2019s future away from Britain has also been supported by Andrew Morton, who told teh UK\u2019s <i><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/radio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Times Radio<\/a><\/i> recently that \u201cthis time next year, Andrew will probably live somewhere abroad\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The years-long scandal surrounding Andrew had reignited last month as a result of a leaked email from the former prince to Jeffrey Epstein, weeks after the date he\u2019d declared they\u2019d cut off all contact with each other. The leaked email also coincided with the release of Virginia Giuffre\u2019s posthumous memoir, <i>Nobody\u2019s Girl<\/i>, in which she detailed her alleged sexual encounters with Andrew, one of which she claimed happened when she was just 17 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew has always denied any allegations of wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>In recent days, it\u2019s been reported that authorities in Britain are hunting for any emails, phone records or notebooks from his personal protection officers after the resurfacing of an email written by the former prince amid scrutiny over his ties to Epstein.<\/p>\n<p>According to <i><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/royals\/37408557\/andrew-officers-police-email-hunt-virginia-giuffre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Sun<\/a><\/i>, London\u2019s Metropolitan Police are investigating claims that Andrew requested his police bodyguard \u201cdig up dirt\u201d on sex trafficking victim Ms Giuffre, purportedly handing over her date of birth and confidential US social security number in a bid to discredit her, in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>In an email leaked last month, it ws said that Andrew reportedly told the late Queen\u2019s then-deputy press secretary, Ed Perkins, what he had done.<\/p>\n<p>There has not been any suggestion that Andrew\u2019s request was acted upon. However, if it was, it could potentially be an offence of misconduct in public office, and the former Duke of York could face allegations of assisting in the charge.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Sun<\/i> reports that the Met development \u201ccould pave the way for a full investigation into historic trafficking for sexual exploitation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities have declined to do so for the past 10 years, and Andrew has never been interviewed by police over his relationship with convicted sex offender Epstein.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs part of the initial examination of the case, officers are currently trying to establish what material is available,\u201d a source told <i>The Sun<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are actively seeking to find emails and communications from Andrew\u2019s royalty protection team, as well as their notebooks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.news.com.au \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor won\u2019t be making Sandringham his new permanent home after being kicked out of his Windsor mansion, according to an explosive new claim.
