Fed up hearing the breaking news....Andrew has left royal lodge.
So what, hes moving from one mansion to another. With lakeys waiting to clean the place and people to shop and cook for him. Etc etc.

As if hes going to ever live like us plebs.

And his victims will never get justice

I’m sure the locals will welcome the sight of him shopping in Aldi

Look into Victorian parliamentary disputes.
The Victorian taxpayer was outraged at Victorias greed
She had the money from the tax payer and she said it wasn’t enough and asked for more . She was given more . She also had the Duchy money but saved that for herself ( sounds familiar today) .

The anger was caused by her asking for more and more money from the tax payer while also not doing very much ( omg another similar tale today re William and Kate )

The purchase of Sandringham was described as a ‘paperwork’ con ( they have been at this a long time ) as she had been keeping the money from the tax payer and the extra she frequently asked from them said then bought the house from ‘private’ money
MPs had asked her to return the money she didn’t use ( for duties she didn’t do) but that didn’t happen

Victoria DIDNT get money from the taxpayers - her Royal income ( to fund the royal machine, staff, upkeep of Royal residences, travel etc) like every monarch after her comes from the profits of the crown estates.
William and Catherine do NOT get taxpayers money. The only taxpayers funds that are spent on them are for security- do you begrudge them that?
Victoria didn’t pay for Sandringham - so how you think this is a ‘paperwork con’ is beyond me.
And as far as William and Catherine ‘not doing very much’ you obviously don’t understand what goes on behind the scenes and don’t think about the fact that they can never retire. They will be doing the job until the day they die - we have seen with QEII the damage that was done to her children by her being a distant parent. William is determined to ensure that does not happen to his children.

Sadly he’s moving close to my favourite local seaside town . His house is huge but quite secluded . Hopefully we don’t bump into him in the chippy or amusement arcades !

Vaxtable · 04/02/2026 20:09

He’s moving from a 30 room ( 10 bedrooms and loads of bathrooms) prestigious house on Windsor estate with 5 members of full time staff running round after him, tidying his teddy bears to a small 7/8 room farm house ( 4 beds and 2 baths if lucky) on Sandringham estate where no one will care about him and he is sharing staff with the king, so a cook and cleaner will pop in. He is now having to have his brother sub him, and Charles won’t put up with the spending he did before

so it’s a big big fall from grace

He'll be at those machines where you dangle the claw thing over the teddy bears. He likes his bears (about the only redeeming quality he has, imo).

EmeraldShamrock000 · 04/02/2026 20:20

GM has confirmed that the photo with PA & VG is real from inside her home, they’re really throwing Andrew under the bus, no less than he deserves, I would like to see the other predators facing the consequences too.

KnickerlessParsons · 04/02/2026 20:25

It’s all relative. It’s not that big a house and it’ll fee a real come-down for AMW.

He has to live somewhere, and if he were my brother and I had the money, I’d give him a house. I’d absolutely hate what he’d done, but I tell my kids I’ll always love them no matter what, though I might deplore their actions and I expect Charles feels the same. AMW wouldn’t be safe in public (nor in prison) - and he can’t go and live on a Barrett's estate.
Where else could he live? KC has done the decent thing and kept him where he can’t cause any more problems, is out of the public eye, and just enough comfort (hopefully) to ensure he doesn’t do a tell all in the press, or scupper off to Dubai or somewhere.
If it means he has someone to cook, iron and clean for him- it’s worth the cost to never see him again IMO.
Hes going to have a pretty miserable life from now on.

3678194b · 04/02/2026 20:28

Every day more and more comes out, it's not going to get better for him. So is he just hoping it blows away?

I'm surprised he hasn't moved abroad but then the King may not buy him a property there.

What is the source that says he is borrowing staff from Charles and only has a cook and cleaner popping in?
I read reports he is after a cook/housekeeper, gardener, cleaner, groom and more.

😂 he wouldn't be able to cope, from putting a pound coin or token in the trolley through to his utter bemusement at the sight of uncooked food on the shelves followed by loading it on the conveyor belt (he'd never cope with self service checkout) and then the hell of packing it up and getting it home, unpacking it and having to turn it into meals, the horror, the horror...

Zippedydodah · 04/02/2026 19:43

And where he can carry on his prevuis/usual behaviour unseen, no photographers or press and no one will be any the wiser.
Who will know who he smuggles in there and with Sandringham to replace Buckingham Palace, Balmoral etc things will continue as before sans scrutiny. Perfect.
No wonder he skipped over there on Monday.

Edited

So you prefer him in royal Lodge? You cant have it all fucking ways

I’d imagine the king wants his brother under his thumb

A big fall from grace?

He is a rapist and a paedophile. He shouldn’t be in a fucking farm house, he should be a jail cell.

ProudOliveHiker · 04/02/2026 21:01

I bet my above comment gets deleted because apparently you can’t actually say the words to describe exactly what he is.

Ukisgaslit · 04/02/2026 21:02

@LunaDeBallona
Im sorry - I dont know what you are talking about .
Im referring to queen Victoria. She most certainly did take money from the taxpayer . She took @ £390000 annually ! They called it the Consolidation Fund
The crown estate is owned by the state. Money from it is state money .

ThejustbrothersCarlenaNSoul · 04/02/2026 21:04

A 10x6 cell would be more apt.

Please do educate us then about what William and Kate do ‘behind the scenes’

Why don’t you educate yourself like I have?
You’ve got the whole internet availaible - or you could order books and read them which is what I prefer to do.
Verified sources rather than just making things up or believing social media.

Do you think training to be King is a 20 minute a week thing??
I despair.

You had better tell The Crown Estates that then as they say they are NOT owned by the Government/state .
The info is in the FAQs on the official Crown Estates website.

There’s no need to despair. I’m asking you to share your knowledge because the knowledge I have acquired from Norman Baker’s books differs from what you are saying. That’s what makes these threads so interesting, when people share their perspectives and quote sources.

He could fly a helicopter, is working a microwave beyond him?

TippyTee · 04/02/2026 23:53

I think it’s dreadful. I hope Andrew has power outages every night and lots of rat infestations to start with. Bat poo everywhere would be ideal too.

AInightingale · 05/02/2026 00:14

Would a converted shipping container work? They're pretty secure, though vandals might tip it over in the night.

🙄
Where did I say anything about preferring him to stay in Royal Lodge ?
Personally I would rather he was dumped with SF on an island somewhere in the North Sea 🤷🏼‍♀️
At least he was seen in Windsor etc, giving evidence of his depraved lifestyle. If he’s out of sight do you honestly think he won’t carry on?
He’s hardly going to suddenly become a reformed character is he!
