Recap: Andrew ‘agrees to leave Royal Lodge on condition he gets new home’
Prince Andrew has reportedly agreed to leave Royal Lodge under the condition he can move to Frogmore Cottage, the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan, with a separate property for his former wife Sarah Ferguson.
Andrew has been facing mounting pressure to leave the 30-room mansion this week amid the continuing outcry over his links to Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew strenuously denies all accusations against him.
According to The Sun, Andrew and Ms Ferguson, who also lives at Royal Lodge, have agreed to move out if Andrew can move to Frogmore Cottage and Sarah can move to Adelaide Cottage – where the Prince and Princess of Wales are due to move out of next month.
“No one is really sure how it’s going to go down at the Palace yet,” a friend of the pair told the paper.
“Andy is willing to leave, but these are his demands. He is realistic and knows the writing is on the wall and that his time at Royal Lodge is up. If he must go then he has asked for Frogmore Cottage.”
Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, has reportedly denied the pair have made any demands to move into Frogmore Cottage and Adelaide Cottage.
A source told The Times she said the arrangement is one of the options suggested by Buckingham Palace in the past.
The Independent has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.

Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer says Met could have done more in Andrew investigation
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley felt that the Metropolitan Police should have been investigating Andrew over Giuffre’s claims that she was trafficked to him by Jeffrey Epstein and made to have sex with him in London, New York and the Caribbean, allegations that Andrew has always denied.
“The Met could have done more than they did,” Ms McCawley, 53, told The Sunday Times. “I particularly believe in the light of the email that came out [last weekend] that there should be a thorough investigation. I felt like the Met failed her a number of times.”
