Former Prince Andrew<\/a><\/strong> left Royal Lodge quietly, and a friend called it \u201chumiliating\u201d. The source said he moved \u201cunder the cover of darkness\u201d to avoid being seen. This marks the start of Andrew\u2019s long-impending exile. The former prince reportedly vacated the 31-room home late Monday.<\/p>\n

Ex-Prince Andrew\u2019s \u2018humiliating\u2019 exit happened under \u2018cover of darkness,\u2019 says source<\/h2>\n

According to The Sun<\/a>\u2018s report dated February 3, 2026, Ex-Prince Andrew vacated Royal Lodge late Monday. The move came three months after he handed back his lease. He was driven to Sandringham to his temporary abode at a Norfolk estate.<\/p>\n

As arranged earlier, Andrew will stay at Wood Farm Cottage, which was once Prince Philip\u2019s retirement base, for the time being. Meanwhile, his future permanent residence, Marsh Farm, is being renovated. The report states he will move to Marsh Farm by early April. <\/p>\n

A friend said, \u201cHe had planned to cling on at Royal Lodge a little longer\u201d. The same source added, \u201cIt was made clear to him that it was time to go\u201d, following recent developments.<\/p>\n

The source described the move as humiliating. \u201cLeaving was so humiliating for him that he chose to do it under the cover of darkness\u201d. They added, \u201cHe didn\u2019t want to have a big emotional goodbye\u201d. The source also said, \u201cThe headlines were only getting worse\u201d, which prompted the sudden move. A witness described the former prince\u2019s wave in Windsor earlier on Monday by saying, \u201cIt was as if he was waving goodbye\u201d.<\/p>\n

The report framed the shift as a win for King Charles<\/a>. He reportedly wanted Andrew to move out sooner, which was dubbed the \u201cSiege of Royal Lodge\u201d by royal insiders. Andrew had even rejected a move to Frogmore Cottage in 2023. For now, the former prince may return for his remaining belongings. The palace is \u201ckeeping an eye\u201d on developments, the report said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
