Ex-Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge Exit Delayed by Hoarding Habit
UPDATE: Former Prince Andrew’s exit from Royal Lodge is facing significant delays due to his reported hoarding habits. Sources confirm that the royal has been given until October 2023 to vacate the premises but could take several more months to complete the move.
As the clock ticks, Andrew, now stripped of his royal title, is struggling to manage a vast collection of belongings, complicating his departure. Reports indicate that the former Duke of York has filled multiple rooms with documents, photographs, and personal items, making it challenging for palace staff to sort through everything.
A source revealed, “He’s a natural hoarder. Rooms are packed with papers, photographs, and personal collections. He wasn’t ready to accept help sorting through it.” This extensive collection is causing a bottleneck in the inventory process, further delaying his exit from the royal estate.
Moreover, there is an ongoing debate regarding which items belong to Andrew and what is part of the royal collection. “Priceless artwork and antique furniture have been taken out first. Those belong to the Windsor family, not Andrew,” noted an insider. Each item must be meticulously logged to avoid future disputes, adding to the complexity of the situation.
Insiders confirm that Andrew is expected to move to a smaller property at Sandringham on a temporary basis. However, sources emphasize that the transition will not be swift. “With the hoarding and ownership issues, it’s going to take months,” said a tipster close to the situation.
As the situation unfolds, the public remains captivated by the royal drama surrounding Andrew’s exit from Royal Lodge. With the combination of emotional ties to his belongings and the complexities of royal inventory, this story is far from over. Stay tuned for further developments as the saga continues.
