Prince Andrew's Shame To Compound As Big News About His Living Arrangement Looms

Prince Andrew's years-long living arrangement at the Royal Lodge with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, is reportedly nearing an end.

The disgraced Prince has fallen out of favor with the royal family following the controversies that have trailed him because of his links to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have since given up the use of their royal titles due to their ties to the late sex offender.

Prince Andrew is expected to vacate his Royal Lodge residence in the coming days after being dragged into a fresh scandal over his ties with Jeffrey Epstein.

According to Page Six, a source explained that the 65-year-old embattled royal has finally conceded to the expectation that he vacate the 30-room mansion, which is owned by King Charles's crown estate.

"Andrew realizes he has to leave," the royal source told the news outlet. "The hounds are at bay — and the hounds are quite powerful these days."

He hasn't paid rent on the property for more than 22 years because he reportedly paid around $10.7 million to see it renovated.

Reports earlier suggested that Buckingham Palace officials were working on getting him into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's former home, Frogmore Cottage, while Ferguson would settle for Prince William and Kate Middleton's former home, Adelaide Cottage.

However, the plan was botched, with new reports saying that where they'll now live hasn't been addressed.

Andrew's antics have started to raise concerns within the royal family, with King Charles the latest to feel the blowback from the scandal.

The reigning monarch was on his way to a cathedral on Monday when a bystander heckled him over Andrew's ties with Epstein.

The BBC reported that the man just won't stop asking Charles questions outside Lichfield Cathedral in Staffordshire, England.

"How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein? Have you asked the police to cover up for Andrew?" the protester yelled, per Fox News Digital.

"Should MPs be allowed to debate the royals in the House of Commons?" they continued.

However, large crowds gathered outside to greet the royal, with several confronting the heckler. In the video, some people yelled at him to "shut up" while a woman nearby told him to "go away."

Despite the disgrace Andrew has brought upon the royal family, a source told Page Six that Charles will continue to take care of him.

"The King knows he has to look after Andrew in some respect," the royal source said. "There's no doubt that Andrew has been rude and insensitive over the years, and there are a lot of people now getting their revenge."

Over time, Charles has taken a more lenient approach toward Andrew, much to the dissatisfaction of his son, Prince William, who's understood to want him banished.

Sources previously explained that Charles's reluctance to barnish the former couple is largely meant to acknowledge their loyalty, prevent Ferguson from behaving like Harry and Meghan, and also uphold Queen Elizabeth's wishes.

However, Prince William reportedly feels differently and has been urging the King to take action.

"William feels even more strongly than the King that Andrew and Fergie are an embarrassment and will be urging his father to act," a source told the Daily Mail.

The source added, "The optics of that pair of chancers guffawing away [at events] look terrible."

It comes after Andrew announced that he'll be relinquishing his remaining royal titles and will no longer be addressed as the Duke of York, noting how his scandal has been distracting the royal family from its work.

"In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family," he said in a statement. "I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life."

Reports earlier claimed that William threatened to strip Andrew's daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, of their royal titles if they didn't persuade their dad to leave the premises. However, a palace source has denied the claims.

"I have never heard such nonsense," the insider said. "Anyone who knows William knows he is not that venomous and is fond of his cousins."

"The Prince of Wales cannot take anybody's titles away," they noted.

In her posthumous memoir, Nobody's Girl, Virginia Giuffre alleged that she was trafficked by Epstein and was forced to have sex with Andrew when she was 17.

"In the years since, I've thought a lot about how he behaved," she wrote about her alleged first encounter with Andrew. "He was friendly enough, but still entitled — as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright."
