Disgraced Prince Andrew Refuses to Leave Royal Lodge, ‘Spends Much of His Time Playing Video Games’

Despite giving up his royal titles in a surprise announcement on Friday, October 17, Prince Andrew continues to live a life of luxury, the Sunday Times has reported.

“Nothing has really changed for Andrew, who, according to visitors to Royal Lodge, spends much of his time playing video games,” the outlet revealed in a story published on Saturday, October 18.

As lurid details of his friendship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged relationship with late sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre continue to be leaked, the disgraced royal, 65, also still technically retains all of his titles, even though he won’t use them. (Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.)

An act of Parliament would be required to formally strip them and his brother King Charles III, 76, “did not want to take up the government’s time,” the Times reported.

Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson, have also refused to leave their home, the lavish Royal Lodge near Windsor Castle. Andrew has an “iron-clad” lease until 2078, the Daily Mail has reported, so Charles can’t evict them, despite growing public outrage.

“People are furious. He might not be a Duke any more, but he still lives like a Prince,” royal author Ingrid Seward told the Daily Mail in a story published on Sunday, October 19. “How can he possibly continue to live on the Windsor Park estate in a 30-room mansion?”
