Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will be forced to do surprising job for himself for first time after eviction

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has now officially moved out of Royal Lodge, and it has emerged that he will be forced to do a surprising job for himself in the wake of his eviction.

The eviction from the property, where he lived with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, comes after he was formally stripped of his royal titles by his older brother, King Charles III, due to increasing pressure over the former Duke of York's ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and after the backlash following the posthumous release of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, Nobody’s Girl.

The memoir sets out Giuffre’s account of being trafficked by Epstein and includes allegations against several other individuals, among them Andrew. It revisits her previous claims that she was forced to have sex with Andrew on three occasions, including when she was 17.

Andrew has strongly denied the allegations.

He is set to move into Marsh Farm in Sandringham, which is about two miles from Charles' own Sandringham House, but, for now, he is staying temporarily at Sandringham’s Wood Farm cottage.

According to a source, Andrew is set to take on more day-to-day tasks at home, including opening the front door himself for the 'first time ever'.

As reported by The Sun, the source said: "People who have been with him for years are off. It will likely be a skeleton staff at best.

"It’s possible for the first time in his life he will have to open the front door to people himself."

Another insider said: "Because the lease to Royal Lodge was handed back, they also lost their homes.

"They were offered far smaller accommodation. But no one wanted to go to Sandringham to work for him. It’s in the middle of nowhere."

Staff on the King’s Norfolk estate have been told they are not obliged to work for him if they feel uncomfortable, the outlet added.

Another source claimed the number refusing is extensive, saying: "They’ve been told they don’t have to serve Andrew or work for him if they feel uncomfortable. There is already quite a list saying no thanks.

"There is understandably a lot of disquiet as he is now a total pariah.

"But there is also a worry that once he gets comfortable at Wood Farm, while Marsh Farm is being finished, they will never get him out again."

The Sun reports that it is thought that Andrew will have at least three staff members, a valet, butler and chef.

When he does move into his new accommodation, he will have to find and fund his own staff.

Andrew is expected to move permanently into Marsh Farm at the start of April.
