00:00Prince Andrew scrambles to pawn $40 million Royal Lodge treasures before 2026 eviction.
00:07Removal vans arrived at Royal Lodge on January 14, 2026,
00:12signaling Prince Andrew's accelerated exit as King Charles seeks to reclaim the Crown Estate property amid Epstein fallout.
00:20As the January 31, 2026 deadline nears,
00:24removal vans signal Andrew's exit from Royal Lodge, a historic Crown Estate home he leased in 2003,
00:31shared with Sarah Ferguson amid growing financial and legal pressure.
00:35King Charles's pressure and loss of funding are accelerating Andrew's move from Royal Lodge ahead of schedule.
00:41Reports claim valuables are being inventoried,
00:43though potential sales and item classifications remain unconfirmed by palace officials.
00:49Removal vans spent hours at Royal Lodge on January 14, 2026,
00:53as Andrew prepared to leave after more than 20 years.
00:58The move reportedly separates him from Sarah Ferguson, with a source telling The Sun,
01:02this will mark the first time in nearly 20 years that he and Sarah will go their separate ways.
01:08Palace officials are overseeing Royal Lodge's handover,
01:11distinguishing Crown Estate items from personal property following a 2025 survey.
01:17Andrew's finances and standing remain strained by the Epstein scandal.
01:22His 2019 withdrawal from duties, loss of titles,
01:26and a costly 2022 settlement that continues to affect the monarchy's reputation.
01:33After losing his titles in October 2025 and public funding ending,
01:37Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor agreed to leave Royal Lodge early.
01:40A source said he's finally decided to get on with his life and so is moving out sooner than he thought.
01:47King Charles's slimmed-down monarchy is driving Andrew's transition to private life and Royal Lodge's reallocation.
01:53Without public funding, Andrew faces financial pressures,
01:56with reports of asset considerations while Crown Estate property remains under palace control.
02:01Experts say Andrew's situation is unprecedented,
02:04with no return to public duties expected amid financial strain.
02:09He is preparing to relocate temporarily to the smaller Marsh Farm Estate by late January,
02:14or before his February 19th birthday.
02:16King Charles' actions reflect stricter rules for non-working royals,
02:20protecting Crown Estate assets like Royal Lodge.
02:23Andrew's move draws global media attention,
02:26with Epstein Associations and the Giuffre Settlement continuing to challenge the monarchy's reputation.
02:32A November 2025 Crown Estate survey found Royal Lodge needs major repairs,
02:37with costs possibly exceeding ÂŁ488,000, leading to a voluntary lease surrender.
02:43Potential sales of Royal-related items raise concerns over preserving historically sensitive memorabilia,
02:49drawing heightened public and institutional attention.
02:52Andrew's Royal Lodge exit reflects post-Epstein reforms including lost titles and funding,
02:58highlighting King Charles' modernization push,
03:01and setting precedents for handling disgraced former working royals.
