Former Prince Andrew Moves Out of Royal Home Amid Fresh Epstein Revelations

Former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has moved out of Royal Lodge in Windsor, earlier than anticipated. The move follows the release of new documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, revealing more details about their friendship. In October 2025, King Charles III stripped Andrew of his royal titles due to the extent of his association with Epstein, and Buckingham Palace announced he would vacate Royal Lodge in early 2026. This departure marks a further step in Andrew's removal from royal duties, which began with accusations of sexual assault by Virginia Roberts Giuffre and a subsequent lawsuit settlement in 2022. Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein or Giuffre's allegations.

A legal letter released as part of the latest Jeffrey Epstein files alleges that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein asked an exotic dancer for sex acts at Epstein's Florida home in 2006. The letter, dated March 2011, claims the woman was offered $10,000 to dance at Epstein's house, where she saw other young women, some appearing as young as 14. After dancing, Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly asked her for a threesome and engaged her in various sex acts, paying her only $2,000 of the promised $10,000. The woman's lawyers stated she would keep the encounter confidential in exchange for $250,000, as she felt she was treated like a prostitute. Mountbatten-Windsor, who has always denied wrongdoing, is under increasing pressure to provide evidence about his relationship with Epstein.
