Andrew moves out of Royal Lodge as police assess new Epstein allegation

1 day ago 5

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has moved out of Royal Lodge, as police assess claims that a woman was sent to the former duke by Jeffrey Epstein in 2010.

The former duke's move is part of a permanent move to Norfolk, which may take some time, according to Sky's royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills.

Andrew is now living in a house on Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, which is seen as temporary accommodation.

There will be a further move in the coming months once final arrangements have been made.

The Palace had announced last October that the King had started the process of removing the style, title and honours of the former prince after the Epstein-linked allegations against him had started to "distract" from the Royal Family's work.

It comes as Thames Valley Police said it is assessing a claim that a woman was sent by Epstein to Andrew at Royal Lodge in 2010.

Royals silent on Andrew summons

The encounter allegedly took place when the woman was in her 20s, her lawyer told the BBC earlier this week.

A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: "We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes.

"We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures. We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward.

"At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley Police by either the lawyer or their client."

Andrew has not commented on the latest claims but has previously denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein.
