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

Richard Branson asking Epstein to 'Bring his harem' is vomit inducing.

Remember Megan and Harry moaning about living in a small cottage? Not so surprised at him complaining as he was born into it, but I would have expected her to bring him down a notch or two and "keep it real"

She’s even less “real” than he is. Allegedly she thought they were going to be living in Windsor Castle! 😂

I feel sorry for whoever ends up working for him. Working for Andy in Royal staff circles will be the equivalent of being banished to Siberia.
Do anything wrong, fall out of favour and that's going to be the threat. Siberia would be a welcome alternative.

Harry moaned about getting the smaller bedroom in Balmoral.

Don't we youngest siblings always get the smallest bedroom? I'm the youngest of three, shared with my sister while my brother got his own room, and when she started going nuts as a teenager with her irritating kid sister sharing her space, I got the box room. Is that just... not how it is? Then we get their rooms when they move out!

Think of the money they could make from the “inside story”. I imagine his staff will be recruited locally anyway.

I don't disagree, but I find it so interesting that those in the Epstein files who are from outside the US are universally condemned, stripped of jobs, titles, face police investigations etc, while those in the US face seemingly no negative effects at all. I don't see Musk or Trump losing anything!

I was thinking this as well.

We are calling for loss of privileges, rank, favours etc. What's happening in the US?

Elon is being laughed at because not even the paedophiles want him!

Privileged man accused of sexual assault, who admits fraternising with convicted paedophile, moves house.

I don’t think he ever could though, he’ll always need some level of privacy and security purely because of his entitled birthright. If he were a lesser royal nobody really knew about it could be justified but since he’s brother to the current king, he’s too high profile. The paps would be on his case constantly which would be a total nightmare for his neighbours too.

I’m sure he could find a little remote island to live on. He seems to like them.

He can use his own wealth to make a new life and if his privacy is invaded that’s the consequence of his actions. If he’s not going to face any criminal conviction and prison time then the least he deserves is an uncomfortable life devoid of the privilege and privacy that he thinks he’s entitled to.

Andrew was horrible to his staff. Word has it that he would drop a tissue on the floor and summon a staff member to pick it up. If his large teddy bear collection wasnt tidied up adequately he would throw a tantrum.
Her late Majesty, on the other hand, was said to treat her staff with respect, although she was rumoured to have a very effective "death stare" if something or someone displeased her 😆

He should be in prison…

This. Absolutely this. Along with every other man (or woman) who was involved and complicit in the continued abuse.

100%. We have such a screwed up housing system these days that lots of kids never have their own bedroom. There are kids in temporary accommodation sharing beds with siblings and parents.

MidWayThruJanuary · 04/02/2026 10:00

@Gowlett
Imagine working for any of them.

simpsonthecat · 04/02/2026 10:00

I find it beyond pathetic that the Palace statement this morning is Andrew is moving out of Royal Lodge. The Palace are scrabbling around to come up with something to take the heat off the emails and awful pics of Andrew kneeling over what looks like a comatose young girl.
It isn't working.

Let's not be taken in with it. He has thrown a paddy in the last few weeks about what staff he wants (housekeeper, cook, secretary etc) and they are building a big garage block for all his cars because he demanded it.

I hope the black cloud of misery stays around the entitled sweaty rat like a cloak of shame.
He should become a recluse. I highly doubt he’ll be prosecuted.

That's so unfair - you know he's incapable of sweating - he said so!

Ukisgaslit · 04/02/2026 10:03

Something is stopping the Windsors from dealing with Andrew - ie have him help the police with their enquiries.

My assumption is that they fear Andrew singing about the rest of them.

50Balesofgrey · 04/02/2026 10:06

Back in the day he'd have been left alone with a bottle of whisky and a revolver and expected to do the decent thing.

Petitcha · 04/02/2026 10:07

They all make my skin crawl.
They knew well what he was up to.
They didn't pay out 12 million not knowing what he had done.

Boomer55 · 04/02/2026 10:08

He’s a royal - he’ll never be put into low grade housing. 🤷‍♀️

SerendipityJane · 04/02/2026 10:09

You don't have a royal family without having this too.

And it's not as if the whinging here is going to change a single thing.

Andrew should face criminal trial (& prison)
Mandleson should face criminal trial & prison
But the silence in US is so convenient when
DJ Trump should face criminal trial & prison
There are SO many US names not being mentioned inc Musk, & many of DJT 'circle'.

I just think of Bert Baxter from the Adrian Mole diaries - 'they should all be made to move to council houses in Liverpool'. Poor Liverpool though.

We absolutely don't want them !

GnomeDePlume · 04/02/2026 10:27

I expect that AMW is going to be kept on a tight financial leash. He may be allowed some staff to start with but they will become less available fairly quickly. Basically a sweetener to get him moving.

What puzzles me is why does he need a secretary? He isnt going to be invited anywhere, I doubt many people write to him. WTF is a secretary going to do?

I entertain myself with the thought of KC going through AMW's online Tescos order and questioning his frivolous consumption of rich tea biscuits and suggesting he should be buying own brand.

The Queen bears some responsibility for the entitlement and indulgence that he was given. She could have put some boundaries in place around him much sooner.

He was always her favourite. She had a blind spot as far as he was concerned, as mothers so often do with their sons.

When I saw that the man formerly known as Prince (Andrew) was moving into the cottage on the Sandringham estate known as Marsh Farm, I had to chuckle as in my town Marsh Farm is a very well known housing estate that often features on 24 Hours in Police Custody for all the wrong reasons. I have images of him moving in to one of the high rise blocks, lol, he deserves it, but of course this is in my dreams unfortunately.
