Prince Andrew latest: Andrew ‘demands two new homes’ as condition of leaving rent-free Royal Lodge
Prince Andrew has been facing mounting pressure to leave the 30-bedroom mansion
Prince Andrew has reportedly agreed to leave Royal Lodge under the condition he can move to Frogmore Cottage, the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan, with a separate property for his former wife Sarah Ferguson.
Andrew has been facing mounting pressure to leave the 30-bedroom mansion this week amid the continuing outcry over his links to Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew strenuously denies all accusations against him.
According to The Sun, Andrew and Ms Ferguson, who also lives at Royal Lodge, have agreed to move out if Andrew can move to Frogmore Cottage and Sarah can move to Adelaide Cottage – where the Prince and Princess of Wales are due to move out of next month.
“No one is really sure how it’s going to go down at the Palace yet,” a friend of the pair told the paper.
“Andy is willing to leave, but these are his demands. He is realistic and knows the writing is on the wall and that his time at Royal Lodge is up. If he must go then he has asked for Frogmore Cottage.”
Last week, it emerged that Andrew has not paid rent on Royal Lodge for more than two decades, after paying £1m for the lease in 2003. There are calls from MPs for a Commons debate to discuss Andrew’s situation.

Adelaide Cottage: Inside the home Andrew has ‘demanded’ for Sarah Ferguson
Adelaide Cottage sits in Windsor’s Home Park, the private 655-acre royal park administered by the Crown Estate.
It is currently occupied by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their family, who are set to move to Forest Lodge before Christmas, leaving the cottage open to a new resident.
Adelaide Cottage has four bedrooms and was built in the 1831 as a cottage orne, or decorated cottage, for Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV, to be used as a summer retreat.
According to Historic England, the public body which cares for England’s historic buildings and places, Adelaide Cottage is a “picturesque” two-storey stucco-faced dwelling with casement windows, and elaborate pierced bargeboards edging the roof.
The principal bedroom has a coved ceiling decorated with gilded dolphins and rope ornament reused from the 19th century royal yacht Royal George, and a good marble Graeco-Egyptian fireplace.
It was once home to Princess Margaret’s lover Peter Townsend, who lived in the grace and favour property in the 1940s with his first wife Rosemary to be on hand for the king in his role as equerry.
