Delivery at Royal Lodge amid Claims Andrew Is 'Ranting to Himself'
The former Duke of York, 65, has been staying at the Royal Lodge since he was stripped of his royal titles last month due to his connections with the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, appear prepared for a quiet evening after a delivery of champagne was seen being brought into Windsor's Royal Lodge.
Andrew has firmly denied all accusations against him. He officially became a commoner after King Charles removed his prince title and HRH status by issuing a rare Letters Patent on Thursday. He is also being relocated from Royal Lodge, his and Fergie's 30-room home in Windsor, to a residence on the Sandringham estate as soon as possible.
Though the exact timing of Andrew’s move is unclear, he seems to be making the most of his remaining time. On Saturday, a large delivery of champagne was observed arriving at the residence. Several boxes of Devaux Champagne were unloaded from a Majestic Wines van outside the gates of the Grade II-listed mansion and taken inside.
Having lived there for over twenty years, Andrew and his ex-wife reportedly spend much of their time alone. They allegedly sleep at opposite ends of the house and only come together for meals to converse.
A source close to the couple said Andrew has been "ranting to himself" and "rarely goes out," while Fergie has sought refuge at a secret bar located behind the mansion.
