King Charles and ex-Prince Andrew’s tension has spilled into a rushed exit from Royal Lodge. One royal insider said, “Charles said enough was enough,” after more Windsor photos surfaced. Photos of the former Duke of York kept landing on front pages.

Now, the King’s younger brother is starting a quieter chapter on the Sandringham estate. Meanwhile, the shift leaves open questions about where Sarah Ferguson lands next.

According to the Daily Mail’s report dated February 4, 2026, Andrew was ordered out of Royal Lodge early. However, he had been expected to move the following week. So, under the cover of darkness on Monday night, he traveled to Norfolk. A source said, “Charles said enough was enough and the message was conveyed to Andrew that it was time for him to head to Norfolk immediately.” He is now staying at Wood Farm Cottage on the Sandringham estate.

Then the report said his long-term base will be Marsh Farm by early April, after renovations. The estate is privately owned by the King. In turn, the source said, “He had to be removed from the public eye.” The source added, “Questions were being asked in royal circles along the lines of ‘what’s he still doing here?’ each time he appeared out riding.” Still, the source said, “Someone less arrogant than Andrew would have read the room and kept his head down for a while, but that’s not in his make-up, so something had to be done.”

Yet the move also touches his family. He shares daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie with Sarah Ferguson, his former wife. The report said Ferguson’s whereabouts “remain unknown.” At the same time, it suggested Andrew may return to Windsor “from time to time” to clear belongings, since it could take “some time.” Meanwhile, Prince William was tight-lipped and said, “I wish I could say more but I can’t.” Ultimately, King Charles and former Prince Andrew now keep their distance by design.

Ex-prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson’s exit from the royal house due to recent controversies has reportedly left their daughters in a “bind.” While Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have allegedly distanced themselves from their parents in public, they still remain “loyal” to them privately. Sources have claimed that their daughters are allegedly in a tough spot because, as much as they love their parents and want to support them, the recent controversies surrounding them make it difficult to take a stand for them publicly.

Amid the latest controversies concerning ex-Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, the Daily Mail reports that their daughters remain “loyal” to them privately. As per a royal source, while Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice maintain a distance from their parents in public, they are still close to them in “private.” The source added, “The Yorks are just about holding it together as a family but this has put new strains on their relationships. The last I heard the daughters were still supporting both parents behind the scenes.”

The royal source further added that the sisters are in a terrible “bind.” “I think they should say something but I doubt they will because of their need to stay loyal to their parents in private while separating themselves in public,” continued the source.

While Andrew has moved to Sandringham Estate in eastern England, Ferguson’s accommodation details remain unknown. Sources allege that she won’t be moving with her ex-husband to Sandringham. An insider shared, “I know she was looking at a few options and hoped to stay in the Windsor area but this forced move has come sooner than expected.”

If rumors are true, her daughters have suggested she move abroad, possibly to Eugenie’s villa in Portugal. However, Ferguson would still need a permanent residence. A source shared, “Fergie did sell her Belgravia mews house for £3.85 million in August so in theory has that money to use for somewhere else to live. But that house was bought as an investment for Beatrice and Eugenie.” With this, it remains unclear where Ferguson will ultimately settle.
