Ex-Prince Andrew might be leaving the United Kingdom for good!
The disgraced royal is reportedly considering relocating outside the country to experience life on the island alongside his Spanish counterpart.
Ex-Prince Andrew's name was erased from official royal registers, with the honors bestowed on him by the late Queen Elizabeth removed all with an order from King Charles.
Ex-Prince Andrew May Find His New Home In The Middle East

Royal biographer Andrew Lownie, who published the book "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York," revealed that the disgraced prince may move from Bahrain.
"Certainly, he is likely to go out there. He's going (to) be away from press scrutiny … and it'll be nice and sunny," Lownie declared, noting that he will not be there alone.
He will be enjoying the company of King Juan Carlos I of Spain, who left the country in 2020 over his own scandals and now resides on the Middle East island tucked deep into the Persian Gulf. However, he might still be around in the United Kingdom for a few more days.
"The shooting season is still on, so I think he's likely to stay in Britain for the moment," the author explained. As noted by Page Six, Shooting season in the UK is mostly over on February 1.
What Is Sarah Ferguson's Role In All Of This?

Andrew's former wife, who is also the mother of his two daughters, is also another topic of discussion amid her ex's exit from the country. Lownie stated that the palace has to deal with her, especially now that she has been stripped of her "Duchess of York" title, which she has used as her identity for years.
Ferguson has received a fair share of Andrew's disgrace following the discovery that she, alongside her ex, continued their friendship with Epstein, who lent her money and also hosted her in New York.
The author, who sold a London townhouse last year for $4 million, has Lownie wondering if her cut from the sale would be used to support herself, Andrew, and the girls.
Lownie gave his opinion on the palace's decision to include Andrew and Ferguson in the recent Christmas post-church walkabout alongside other members of the royal family.
Prince William Is All For Ex-Prince Andrew's Permanent Exit

The incoming king is reportedly intensifying efforts behind the scenes for the United Kingdom to permanently shut the door on Andrew due to the stress he has caused the country from his questionable inclinations.
As reported by The Blast, Andrew has since been evicted from the 30-room Royal Lodge residence and was directed to make a private residence on the Sandringham estate his home for the moment.
However, these measures from the royal stool have done little to satisfy William, who simply wants "his wayward uncle as far away as possible."
William is trying to tie up the loose end of Andrew's presence in the United Kingdom because he does not want his reign to be overshadowed by the scandal. He also does not want to live in constant fear of another scathing headline lurking around the corner.
"The last thing William wants, while focusing on duty and modernizing the monarchy, is to have the liability of Andrew around," the insider noted, adding that he wants distance in every way and wants to restore the public's trust in the monarchy.
The Disgraced Prince's Conversation With Jefferey Epstein's Camp Revealed

In a leaked 2001 email from Andrew to Epstein's wing woman Ghislaine Maxwell, the former prince had expressed how it felt boring to spend time alone at the royal family's "Balmoral Summer Camp."
In a report by The Blast, he noted in the email that they engage in activities all day, which leaves him exhausted at the end of the day, and his female company always gets exhausted, and he was done splitting them up all the time.
"How's LA? Have you found me some new inappropriate friends? Let me know when you are coming over, as I am free from August 25 until September 2 and want to go somewhere hot and sunny with some fun people," Andrew's mail reads.
Lownie explained in an interview with Page Six that more people have approached him with allegations of Andrew's inappropriate behavior around them.
Ex-Prince Andrew's Royal Titles Got Stripped Away Last December

The controversial royal did not end the year as a member of the most coveted family in Britain because the king himself gave a directive that his name be erased from registers of the Order of the Garter, Britain's most senior order of chivalry.
He was removed from the Royal Victorian Order, which is often awarded to individuals who have meritoriously served the royal family and the Commonwealth at large. The message of his dismissal, as announced by the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood, read:
"THE KING has directed that the appointment of Andrew Albert Christian Edward MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR to be a Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, dated 23 April 2006, shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order."
Following this process, ex-Prince Andrew is now being called by his common name, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
