‘Nothing much changes’ royal expert warns | Royal | News
Former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has moved from Royal Lodge in Windsor and now lives at Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, a temporary home during the renovation of his permanent residence Marsh Farm. It was reported that the move planned by Buckingham Palace for the beginning of 2026 was accelerated after the latest publication of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The US Department of Justice made public nearly three million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos On January 30th.
Pressure is mounting in the US for Mountbatten-Windsor to produce evidence of her relationship with the convicted pedophile financier, which she has consistently denied. Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of her royal titles last year.
Despite the move and ongoing scrutiny, a royal expert has suggested the former prince’s life will remain largely the same.
Andrew Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, previously told the Express before Andrew’s arrest: “He’s not a man prone to self-reflection, so I think he’ll carry on as he has been.
“He’ll think: ‘I see some job opportunities. I’ll keep getting massages, life will be the same as before. I still watch some TV and golf and see my family. Not much will change.'”

On Thursday, Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested by Thames Valley Police on his 66th birthday on suspicion of abuse of public office.
The arrest comes amid allegations that he shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein during his time as British trade envoy.
He was released under investigation later that evening and police said searches in Norfolk had been completed. He was photographed being driven away from the police station in the back of a car shortly after 7pm.
Searches continue at his former address, Royal Lodge in Windsor.
Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently and passionately denied any wrongdoing.
