However, reports have stated that the British monarch is open to allowing brother Prince Andrew to be residing in other royal buildings when he’s in London such as St James’ Palace as a ‘possible option’. Andrew is also predicted to have his mansion Royal Lodge in Windsor, which has 31 rooms.
Prince Andrew’s eviction also comes nearly a year after the Duke of York was said to have reached an out-of-court settlement with accuser Virginia Giuffre worth £12 million to avoid trial. He was accused by Giuffre of sexually abusing her when she was 17 and a victim of trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein. To date, Andrew has denied all allegations.
