Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, previously known as Prince Andrew, has been stripped of all his royal titles. Also, he has been evicted from the Royal Lodge, and rumors stated that he could have been set to receive a hefty amount for the early eviction. Now, it appears to have been decided.

Days before sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre, who took her life in April, released her explosive memoir, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor decided to give up his royal titles.

Andrew’s connections to the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein have been in the open for years, and in Giuffre’s memoir, she revealed new details about her sexual meetings with Andrew when she was not yet 18.

In a statement through the royal website, Andrew said, “In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life.”

King Charles evicted his brother Andrew after shocking sex trafficking scandal
After his titles were stripped, many argued that there was still one thing left to do. Andrew still lived in the 30-room Royal Lodge mansion on the Windsor grounds, and many believed the right thing to do was for King Charles to act on his brother’s behalf.

It didn’t take long for it to be done. In late October, Andrew was stripped of the final royal titles and evicted from the Royal Lodge. A statement from Buckingham Palace read, “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.”

“His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease, and he will move to alternative private accommodation.”

What will happen to the Royal Lodge moving forward is not clear. It is still owned by the Crown, but whether there will be a new royal fanmily member moving in is unknown.

Andrew’s lease was supposed to last for many years to come, but althoguh it was canceled before the contract ended, the former prince is not set to receive any compensation.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor ‘denied six-figure compensation’ after eviction from Royal Lodge
As per CNN, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is denied a six-figure compensation payout for the early eviction due to its state of repair.

During a briefing to the UK’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which investigates the value for money of government projects and services, the Crown Estate said an initial assessment of the Royal Lodge showed “in all likelihood that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will not be owed any compensation for early surrender of the lease … once dilapidations are taken into account,” per CNN.

Moreover, the Crown Estate added that although it does not believe “any compensation will necessarily be due,” Andrew would be set to receive a six-figure sum of $644,336, if “no end-of-tenancy repairs or dilapidations are required.”
