Recently photographed alongside his elder brother, King Charles, Prince Andrew is set to relinquish his lease on a prestigious mansion. Despite this, he will maintain his position in the royal line of succession.

On Friday, Buckingham Palace issued a statement confirming that Andrew will no longer hold his ‘prince’ title and will vacate the Royal Lodge.

The family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who accuses Andrew of sexual assault during her childhood, has praised her relentless pursuit of justice, which they believe has played a crucial role in shaping public opinion against him.

According to Giuffre’s family, the release of her posthumous memoir, detailing her allegations, has significantly influenced public perception and intensified scrutiny of Prince Andrew’s actions.

“Today, she declares victory. We, her family, along with her survivor sisters, continue Virginia’s battle and will not rest until the same accountability applies to all of the abusers and abetters connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.”

“By continuously being gaslit by the UK government, UK metro police, US government here, it was a kick in the stomach to her that every time she would get to the point of justice, someone from the side would come in and dismiss her claims,” he told the UK’s Channel 4 in late October.

“Now the public is coming forward and saying, ‘No, there’s just too much substantial evidence here, it stinks of a cover-up.’”

Where will Andrew live?

Sandringham is frequently used by Charles for meetings with world leaders, and was where he entertained Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a summit in March this year.

Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, will also move out of Royal Lodge, according to the BBC.
