Ex-Prince Andrew’s secretive midnight move from Royal Lodge, the drip-drip of fresh Epstein revelations, and a widening split between King Charles and Prince William over how to handle the “Andrew problem” have combined to make this another chaotic week for the British monarchy, as subscribers to The Royalist on Substack will be aware.
The main story of the week is Andrew. On Monday night, under cover of darkness, he finally moved out of Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park and relocated to Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The move was accelerated after his brother the king became irritated by Andrew’s habit of riding and driving around Windsor, mugging and waving at photographers. This was behavior that Charles reportedly saw as a provocation, just as the Epstein files were dragging Andrew back into the headlines.
One might reasonably argue that Andrew has done far worse than wave at photographers, and the king’s failure to address this problem decisively has been an object lesson in poor crisis management.
