After leaving Royal Lodge and losing his status entirely, royal relatives are seriously concerned whether the disgraced Prince Andrew can endure a new life in isolation.
65-year-old Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, stripped of his remaining titles and honors on October 17, is preparing to leave his former home — the 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park. Ahead of him is a move to a much more modest residence, which experts believe could severely impact his emotional state.
Royal biographer Tina Brown shared in her blog Fresh Hell Substack that King Charles III, despite the harsh measures, is trying not to push his brother to a point of no return: "The king does not intend to punish his spoiled brother to the extent that he cannot cope," she writes.
Brown warns that if Andrew finds himself without financial support, he may resort to drastic measures — selling his secrets to the press: "If Charles were not paying the bills, Andrew would have no other choice. Yes, he could sell his secrets to journalists for a very high price."
Meanwhile, Prince William, according to the biographer, is demanding that Andrew's expenses be limited to the level of an 'ordinary person,' as that is what he now formally is. Andrew, Brown claims, openly laughs at this idea.
Royal expert Robert Jobson adds that within the family, concern is growing not only for Andrew but also for his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. However, Jobson emphasizes: "In my opinion, they should be thinking more about the mental health of Epstein's victims. That is my main concern. These people are ordinary, and much has been taken from them."
