King Charles' Brother Andrew Delayed Move From Windsor Mansion Until After Christmas

King Charles has stripped his younger brother, Andrew, of his Prince and Duke of York titles amid public outcry over his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and sexual assault allegations, which Andrew denies. Despite being forced to leave his 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor, Andrew will not move to the Sandringham estate, the traditional royal Christmas gathering location, until after the holiday season to avoid any awkward encounters. Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, maintains a "sanguine" attitude about the situation and will be moving to an undisclosed property on the Sandringham estate, with accommodations funded privately by the King. The process of surrendering his lease at Royal Lodge, which had over 50 years remaining, is lengthy and complex, contributing to the delayed move. Public response to Charles's decision has been largely supportive, though many feel the royal family acted too slowly. Calls have been made for further investigation into Andrew's conduct, and some advocate for the release of related Epstein files by US authorities.
