Former Prince Andrew moves out of Royal Lodge in Windsor as

London – Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the younger brother of King Charles II, who was previously known as Prince Andrew, has moved out of his sprawling Royal Lodge home in Windsor as more details emerge about his relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The move from Mountbatten-Windsor to Sandringham, King Charles’s vast private estate in Norfolk, eastern England, was announced by Buckingham Palace in October and was expected in early 2026.

The royal family did not make any formal announcement about the move, but News themezone understands that, as of Wednesday morning, Mountbatten-Windsor was living in Sandringham.

The quiet move came days after the U.S. Department of Justice released 3 million more documents and Epstein-related photographs, several of which reveal previously unknown contacts between the former prince and the disgraced pedophile financier.

The documents released by the US government include a 2011 letter from a lawyer alleging that then-Prince Andrew and Epstein asked an unidentified “exotic dancer” to “engage in various sexual acts” during a party with “other provocatively dressed young women,” some of whom “appeared to be as young as 14.”

“Mr. Epstein and Prince Andrew told my client that they wanted to have a threesome,” the lawyer for the woman, who died in 2020, writes in the letter.

“After the men were satisfied,” the letter continues, “they invited my client to take a trip with them to the Virgin Islands. She declined the invitation. They then chauffeured her back to the strip club.”

The lawyer goes on to allege that the woman was not paid what she was promised and that she later agreed to keep her “interactions” with Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor private in exchange for $250,000.

The files also include an alleged 2010 exchange between Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein in which the royal invites Epstein to dinner at Buckingham Palace. In his response, Epstein mentions that he is with several women, whose names are redacted, and offers to “bring them all over. To add some life.”

“Yes, there’s plenty of room for chat here,” Mountbatten-Windsor responds in the apparent exchange. “Bring them.”

In another email from a month earlier, Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly wrote to Epstein: “God, it’s cold and wet here! I wish I was still a pet in your family!”

There was also photos released by the Department of Justice, which includes an image in which Mountbatten-Windsor appears to be on all fours over a woman, whose face is obscured, lying on the ground. In another, he is shown touching a woman of the same appearance on the waist, looking at her, and in a third his hand is seen on her stomach.

The woman’s identity, along with the location and date of the image, are unknown, but the revelations have increased pressure on the king’s brother to explain himself.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor under pressure to testify

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Saturday that Mountbatten-Windsor should cooperate with investigators.

“In terms of testifying, I’ve always said that anyone who has information should be prepared to share it in any way they’re asked, because you can’t focus on the victim if you’re not prepared to do so,” Starmer said.

Speaking to News themezone partner BBC News on Wednesday, Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips said Andrew’s testimony “would be it.”

Mountbatten-Windsor has not responded to a request from members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee for a “transcribed interview” about her “long friendship” with Epstein.

News themezone has reached out to Mountbatten-Windsor’s representatives for comment. So far he has not responded and in the past he has always denied any wrongdoing.

King Charles stripped his brother of his royal titles last year, after intense scrutiny over his friendship with Epstein and allegations made by Virginia Giuffre that she was trafficked into having sex with Mountbatten-Windsor when she was a minor.

Mountbatten-Windsor denied those allegations, but reached a agreement with Giuffre in 2022paying him around $16 million, according to British media reports. Giuffre committed suicide last year.

A sexual encounter in a royal residence?

On Tuesday, Thames Valley police, which covers several counties in southern England, said they were assessing allegations reported by the BBC that Epstein had sent a second woman to the United Kingdom for a sexual encounter with Mountbatten-Windsor.

The alleged encounter occurred at Royal Lodge in Windsor, Andrew’s former home, in 2010, according to the BBC.

“We are talking about at least one woman” in addition to Giuffre, “who was sent by Jeffrey Epstein to Prince Andrew,” the second unidentified woman’s lawyer, Brad Edwards, told the British public broadcaster.

The woman, who was in her 20s at the time, was given tea and a tour of Buckingham Palace after spending the night at the Royal Lodge, according to Edwards. According to the BBC, it is the first time an alleged Epstein survivor has claimed to have had a sexual encounter in a royal residence.

Mountbatten-Windsor moved to Sandringham, a 31-square-mile property with several detached houses, on Monday night, but sources familiar with the matter said she could revisit Windsor in the coming weeks as she completes her move.

The former prince was last seen in Windsor on Monday, riding a horse near his former home.

Justifying last October’s decision to strip him of his royal titles and end the lease of the Royal Lodge in Windsor, Buckingham Palace said in a statement that the measures “were considered necessary, despite the fact that [Mountbatten-Windsor] “He continues to deny the allegations against him.”

The palace statement added that King Charles and Queen Camilla “would like to make it clear that their thoughts and deepest condolences have been and will continue to be with the victims and survivors of each and every form of abuse.”
