Andrew Evicted from Royal Lodge Over Horse Riding Photos

The ousted prince was ordered to vacate the Windsor residence ahead of schedule after months of tension with his brother. «The sight of him on the front pages riding a horse or driving past photographers while the Epstein documents story continues was the last straw,» an insider said. «He needed to be removed from the public eye,» the source added.

Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson found themselves back in the spotlight after their names and correspondence with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell resurfaced. Criticism intensified last week after the U.S. Department of Justice released over three million documents related to the Epstein case.

According to sources, the 77-year-old King Charles finally drew the line. «I«ve had enough,» the monarch declared, sending Andrew a message that «it»s time to leave immediately for Norfolk.» Andrew will now move to the Sandringham estate, living at Marsh Farm — a far cry from the 30-room Royal Lodge. While renovations are underway, he is likely to stay at neighboring Wood Farm. Ferguson, 66, who has lived with Andrew at Royal Lodge since 2008, will not join him in Norfolk, sources say.

This comes as British police confirmed they are reviewing allegations that Epstein brought a second woman to the UK to have sex with Andrew, which could lead to a new official investigation. Another insider said that Charles and Prince William were given advance warning of possible repercussions. «It«s clear they were given some warning in intelligence briefings late last year that more was to come,» the source said. «They couldn»t share it, and when Andrew and Sarah were evicted from Royal Lodge, some thought it too harsh. In light of current events, it seems a more appropriate sanction.»
