Former Prince Andrew\u2019s<\/a> exit from Royal Lodge is reportedly forcing him to leave behind more than just his Windsor home. The Times<\/a> reports that now that Andrew has moved to a new home of the Sandringham estate, a number of historical items are expected to be returned to the Royal Collection Trust.<\/p>\n Among the things that needs to be returned is the ceremonial sword that has become known because of one of the most famous royal stories involving Princess Beatrice and singer Ed Sheeran.<\/p>\n https:\/\/x.com\/ABQSatellite\/status\/2079360715899412569<\/p>\n The reported return of the sword comes months after Andrew was moved out of Royal Lodge as King Charles III\u2019s tries to restructure<\/a> the royal property and who lives in them after he took away all of Andrew\u2019s titles and removed him from royal duties.<\/p>\n A lot of the collection consists of paintings, historical photographs and otherroyal family<\/a> artifacts, but there is one object that still continues to start conversations because of the story that goes with it.<\/p>\n The sword first made news headlines in 2016 after some outlets claimed that Princess Beatrice had accidentally cut Ed Sheeran\u2019s face while pretending to knight James Blunt during a gathering at Royal Lodge.<\/p>\n The tale had all the makings to spread quickly and became one of the royal family\u2019s most widely repeated celebrity stories.<\/p>\n Years later, however, Blunt has denied that it ever happened. The singer spoke to Shortlist<\/a> and insisted the story was false and had been made up.<\/p>\n \u201cEd was drunk, messing around and he cut himself,\u201d Blunt said. \u201cWe made a fancy story up; people fell for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n He later doubled down when he appeared on another show and joked that Beatrice would hardly make such a mistake because \u201cshe is a princess and would be rehearsed and practiced in these matters.\u201d<\/p>\n Even though the famous story has long been questioned, the sword itself apparently stayed inside Royal Lodge until Andrew\u2019s left his previous home in February.<\/p>\n Now, it is among several items expected to be returned to the Royal Collection Trust, which manages items that are held by the royal family on behalf of the UK and not as personal possessions.<\/p>\n The sword isn\u2019t the only item being returned, with other pieces set to leave the residence including a 19th-century portrait of Eug\u00e9nie, who was the Empress of the French, as well as historic photographs taken by Cecil Beaton, the royal photographer.<\/p>\n Andrew leaving Royal Lodge happened during one of the most difficult times of his life.<\/p>\n After Andrew was stripped of his royal titles and removed from official royal duties, he moved to a private residence on the Sandringham estate, where he apparently now lives with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson.<\/p>\n In a few short months,Andrew\u2019s life has dramatically changed <\/a>from a royal to living on an estate belonging to his brother. The former duke is also being investigated, is under constant scrutiny, and now he needs to return historic memorabilia that was once part of his home.<\/p>\n Read more at Morning Honey. <\/a><\/p>\n Get Morning Honey delivered right to your inbox.
