Former Prince Andrew will remain in his Windsor mansion until after Christmas, as he navigates the lengthy process of vacating the property. This decision may help the royal family avoid any awkward encounters with him during the festive season. King Charles has stripped Andrew of his titles, including that of Duke of York, following ongoing public backlash regarding his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of sexual assault. Andrew, who denies these allegations, has agreed to leave the Royal Lodge, a 30-room residence. Sandringham is the traditional venue for the royal family's Christmas gathering, and Andrew's delay in moving out means he will not be present for the holiday celebrations. Following the king's decision, Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. Reports suggest he is taking the situation in stride, described as "sanguine" about the events unfolding. Virginia Giuffre has accused Andrew of sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager, claiming she was trafficked by Epstein to engage in sexual activities with the royal. Andrew has consistently denied these allegations. In a recent interview, Giuffre's brother, Sky Roberts, called for further investigation into Andrew, stating, "But [removing his titles], it’s not enough in the sense that he’s still walking around a free man. I mean, let’s not be naive, that he’s not going to be living on the side of the road here. He’s still in a very, let’s say, cushy spot ... He should be investigated, let’s put it that way." Roberts also urged King Charles to encourage US President Donald Trump to release the Epstein files, saying, "put your big boy pants on." A recent YouGov poll revealed that 79% of respondents supported the king's decision to strip Andrew of his titles. However, 58% of the 4,739 adults surveyed felt the royal family had been slow to address the controversy. Additionally, allegations have surfaced that Andrew attempted to persuade the Metropolitan Police to conduct a smear campaign against Giuffre. The police have stated they are looking into these claims, which include allegations that Andrew provided Giuffre's personal information to his taxpayer-funded bodyguard in 2011. The UK’s Public Accounts Committee has confirmed it is writing to the Crown Estate and the Treasury for more information regarding Andrew's lease, which has faced public scrutiny due to the low “peppercorn” rent he was reportedly paying. Andrew's name has now been removed from the official roll of the peerage, meaning the Duke of York title will no longer be used.
