Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has moved out of Royal Lodge, palace sources have said – as police assess claims that a woman was sent to the former duke by Jeffrey Epstein in 2010.<\/p>\n
Andrew’s<\/a> <\/strong>move is part of a permanent move to Norfolk, which may take some time, according to Sky’s royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n He is now living in a house on Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, which is seen as temporary accommodation.<\/p>\n There will be a further move in the coming months once final arrangements have been made.<\/p>\n The palace had announced last October that the King had started the process of removing the style, title and honours of the former prince<\/strong><\/a> after the Epstein-linked allegations against him had started to “distract” from the Royal Family’s work.<\/p>\n Andrew had lived at Royal Lodge, a 30-room mansion on the Windsor Estate, for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n It emerged he had been paying a “peppercorn rent” – a legal term used to show that rent technically exists, so the lease is valid, but it’s nominal – often \u00a31 a year or even nothing at all.<\/p>\n It comes as police assess a claim that a woman was sent by Epstein<\/a> <\/strong>to Andrew at Royal Lodge in 2010.<\/p>\n The encounter allegedly took place when the woman was in her 20s, her lawyer told the BBC earlier this week.<\/p>\n A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: “We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes.<\/p>\n “We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures. We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward.<\/p>\n “At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley Police by either the lawyer or their client.”<\/p>\n Andrew has not commented on the latest claims but has previously denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein.<\/p>\n Read more: Last year Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson agreed they would leave the property in exchange for two separate residences.<\/p>\n Andrew previously faced accusations of sexual misconduct from Virginia Giuffre.<\/p>\n He made a financial payment to her in an out-of-court settlement in 2022 after Ms Giuffre had launched a civil case against him.<\/p>\n Andrew has vehemently denied the allegations involving Ms Giuffre, who took her own life in April last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source uk.news.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has moved out of Royal Lodge, palace sources have said – as police assess claims that a woman was sent to the former duke by Jeffrey Epstein in 2010.
