Andrew Has Been Humiliated Again
Buildings are often forever tied to famous former occupants - like Elvis's Graceland, The Dakota in New York for John Lennon or Winston Churchill's Chartwell. Ask anyone what they know of the 30-room Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor and they'll probably say: "That's Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's old pad."
TL;DR
- The Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor, formerly occupied by Prince Andrew, is difficult to re-lease.
- The property's association with Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein, who attended a party there in 2006, is a major issue.
- No members of the Royal Family are reportedly interested in taking on the vacant property and its estimated £400,000 annual upkeep.
- Prince Andrew officially owns the lease until the end of October, preventing renovations.
- Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson vacated the property earlier this year after further revelations about their friendship with Epstein.
- Both Andrew and Ferguson have apologized for their friendship with Epstein and deny any wrongdoing.
