Kate Middleton and Prince William have temporarily moved closer to disgraced royal Andrew Mountbatten Windsor ahead of his departure from Royal Lodge

Prince Andrew is reportedly demanding Frogmore Cottage and Adelaide Cottage in Royal Lodge exit deal, sparking intense negotiations with King Charles over compensation.

Today, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles has begun the formal process to remove his brother Prince Andrew’s titles and he will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. In the statement, the Palace also revealed that Andrew will be moving out of Royal Lodge.

King Charles III has stripped his brother Andrew of his princely title and home amid mounting pressure to address his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

What is next for the commoner once known as Prince Andrew probably involves moving trucks as he packs up the trappings of his once royal life to move to an isolated private home owned by his brother,

Andrew will leave Royal Lodge "as soon as possible and practicable" - but organising the move could stretch into the new year, sources say.
