Prince Harry & Meghan Relieved as Prince Andrew’s Scandal Erupts
New reports confirm that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are feeling a sense of relief as the escalating controversy surrounding Prince Andrew has shifted public and media focus away from them. Royal insiders reveal that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are grateful for the temporary break from the spotlight, allowing them to step back from intense scrutiny.
On October 30, 2025, the palace announced significant developments regarding Prince Andrew, stripping him of all royal titles, military honors, and privileges. The drastic decision includes revoking his right to use the title “Prince” and confirms his eviction from the 30-room Royal Lodge on the Windsor Estate, a residence he shared with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson since 2003. In a twist, Ferguson will also lose financial assistance from the royal family and is now seeking new housing.
Royal expert Jennie Bond stated, “I imagine Harry and Meghan will feel some relief that the heat is off them for the time being.” This sentiment reflects the ongoing tension the Sussexes have faced since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. With their Netflix docuseries and public interviews under intense scrutiny, the Sussexes are reportedly enjoying a break as Andrew’s scandal dominates headlines.
Despite their distance from royal affairs, Prince Harry maintains strong ties with his cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. Bond noted, “I’m sure he feels great sympathy for them,” as the fallout from Andrew’s scandal continues to unfold.
Initial speculation suggested that Prince Andrew might relocate to Frogmore Cottage, formerly the home of Prince Harry and Meghan. However, royal sources have clarified that he will instead move into a private property on the Sandringham estate, funded directly by King Charles III.
As the media frenzy around Prince Andrew intensifies, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can temporarily breathe easier, reflecting the complex dynamics within the royal family. What happens next remains to be seen, but for now, the Sussexes can find a moment of respite amid the ongoing royal turmoil.
