Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor struggling to downsize from 98-acre home after eviction
Andrew's eviction from his 30-room Windsor mansion has been delayed with the disgraced royal struggling to downsize as Epstein’s plot to kill him is revealed.
The eviction of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from his mansion might be delayed due to downsizing efforts.
The disgraced former Duke of York is being removed from the Royal Lodge in Windsor after he was stripped from his royal titles for being linked to infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Both his Duke and Prince titles were removed in late October as well as an order for the shamed royal to vacate his 30-room home – with Andrew handing his lease back to The Crown Estate on October 30.
However, his big move has been delayed, according to The Sun, with the Andrew reportedly struggling to downsize.
It was expected for the royal to move to the Sandringham estate, where King Charles and Queen Camilla reside, without his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson who he has lived with since their divorce in 1996.
Andrew was expected to make the move shortly after his lease ended but it now appears he may be moving to Sandringham in February in 2026, reports the British newspaper.

ESPTEIN’S PLOT TO KILL ANDREW
Pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly schemed to hire an ex-SAS assassin to take out Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson.
In a bombshell claim, royal author Andrew Lownie – who previously released the damning biography Entitled about the pair – claimed the hit was put out while Epstein was in jail.
Speaking on the Daily Beast podcast, the historian said the predator became paranoid about the royal couple exposing his sex crimes.
Andrew, who has recently been stripped of all working titles, and his ex-wife, were friendly with Epstein and have been accused of both knowing about and engaging in his child sex ring.
“He spoke to a hit man who was a former member of the British SAS and said he wanted the Yorks dead,” Lownie said.
“He wanted to remove them. I’ve been told this by two reliable sources, one in Paris and a former FBI agent in Florida, and I can believe it’s true.
“Epstein said all sorts of things, and you can’t always believe what he said.”
The sex-trafficker was awaiting trial in New York, in 2019, when the alleged hit man was called and was later found hanged in his jail cell.
Lownie, who has been fiercely critical of Andrew, suggesting he was “unbelievably cruel” and “easy prey for a rattlesnake like Epstein.”
The author said it was unclear whether the assignation would be followed through.
“I don’t know how far he got with the plans,” he added.
“But I think he was very nervous before he died.
“It’s extraordinary and like a scene from The Day of the Jackal — but nothing about this saga is normal.”
NEW BID TO UNSEAL EPSTEIN MATERIAL
New York judges have been asked again to release grand jury materials from the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The documents led to the imprisonment of the pedophile in 2019, but the court records are yet to be unsealed.
The new bid by the Justice Department comes after Donald Trump signed The Epstein Files Transparency Act this month, which requires the United States Department of Justice to “make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format” documents pertaining to the pedophile and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
President Trump’s order requires documents be released within 30 days.
The Act was invoked by Attorney-General Pam Bondi, who earlier this year requested the New York courts release the materials.
The courts however rejected Bondi’s initial request, ruling the 70 pages of grand jury materials added little to 100,000 pages of investigation files already available.
Now, the Justice Department declared the new law from Congress changes the rules so the grand jury transcript can be released.
In a letter to Judge Richard Berman and Paul Engelmayer, who oversaw and presided over Maxwell’s case respectively, Bondi placed a new request to the New York courts.
“The Act manifests a congressional intent to override some of the underlying bases for grand jury secrecy,” she wrote.
The new law however allows material that “would jeopardise an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution” to be redacted.
President Trump initially campaigned to release the files in the run up to the US election, promising to release them all once in power.
When in office, Mr Trump dismissed the files as a Democrat “hoax”.
“I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody,” he said in July.
“It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sorted but it’s boring.”
Epstein was charged in 2019 with sex trafficking of minors, but was found dead in his jail cell before trial.
His accomplice, Maxwell, was convicted in 2021 of child sex trafficking and is serving a 20-year sentence.
The relationship between Mr Trump and Epstein has been questioned after claims that the US president was involved in the pedophile’s social network.
In June, former pal Elon Musk claimed the president was in the Epstein files on X before deleting the post.
After the bombshell release of prominent Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, calls for the release of the files reached an all time high.
Mr Trump has since called for the release of the documents, now claiming he has “nothing to hide.”
Republican representative Thomas Massie, who has urged for transparency in the Epstein case, raised concerns that the presidents signing of the Act was only a “smokescreen” to obscure the full release of the files.
