\n

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a> and his former wife Sarah Ferguson are said to be feeling “fragile” as the deadline looms for the disgraced former prince to leave his mansion in Windsor. The ex-Duke of York has been stripped of his titles and military ranks for his association with the billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It was announced the 65-year-old would also be forced to give up his 30-bed Royal Lodge property on the Windsor estate\u00a0after an outcry when it emerged he had been paying a peppercorn rent for the property. The former prince was stripped<\/a> of his titles last year after the posthumous release of Virginia Giuffre’s book Nobody’s Girl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The memoir, which gives her account of being trafficked by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, includes allegations against a number of other individuals including Andrew. The book details previous claims that she was forced to have sex with the former prince on three occasions, including when she was 17.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Andrew has repeatedly and vehemently denied the allegations. He paid millions to Ms Giuffre to settle a civil sexual assault case, despite claiming never to have met her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Both Andrew and Sarah, 66, are due to leave Royal Lodge on January 30. The Daily Mail<\/a> reports the former duchess, affectionately known as Fergie, has been bursting into tears on an almost daily basis, and police have revoked Andrew’s firearms licence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Andrew is expected to take up residence in the much more humble surroundings of Marsh Farm on the royal Sandringham Estate, in Norfolk. Workmen were seen at the property errecting a 6ft wooden fence and security lighting and cameras around the five-bedroom abode.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mash Farm has been empty for several years and is being renovated to make it habitable before Andrew is expected to move there, according to a report in The Sun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is around two miles from the King’s Sandringham House where a source told the Daily Mail Andrew is expected to stay briefly “until Marsh Farm is finished”. The Mail said friends of the Andrew and Sarah were worried they were in a “fragile state”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The source added Sarah and Andrew “obviously don’t want to move to Norfolk” but that they had been “made redundant on generous terms”. The source said: “I suspect that Andrew will have more of a skeleton staff when he eventually moves into Marsh Farm, as it’s not realistic to employ so many people to look after one person on their own.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
