'Disgraced' Andrew, Sarah Fergsuon Allegedly Seeking Romance 'Separately' After Lodge Eviction

He was long known as the charming 'Royal Lothario', a life filled with golf, high-society parties and a constant stream of glamorous companions. But as 2026 begins, the man once dubbed 'Randy Andy' is facing the consequences: the party is over, the lights are off and the locks have been changed. Andrew has lost his good name, his military titles, and his royal patronages due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — and now he faces losing his home.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is navigating the most turbulent period of his life. After being stripped of his military titles and royal patronages, the final blow to his former prestige has come in the form of an eviction notice from Royal Lodge. Even as he prepares to trade a 30-room mansion for a far more modest farmhouse in Norfolk, reports suggest he is not yet ready to retire from the public eye. He is reportedly moving to Marsh Farm on the king's Sandringham estate, a transition that has deeply unsettled the former royal, as it will be his smallest residence since leaving Buckingham Palace.

A Return to the Dating Scene?

In a development reportedly leaving King Charles and Prince William 'horrified', sources indicate that both Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, are looking to re-enter the dating world. Despite living together at Royal Lodge since 2008 and often being called the 'world's friendliest divorced couple', the impending move to separate residences appears to have sparked a desire for fresh starts. Insiders suggest the king and Prince of Wales are particularly concerned that, without the stabilising influence of their shared household, Andrew may 'go rogue' and engage in activities that could further damage the monarchy's reputation.

For Andrew, this marks a return to familiar, albeit controversial, territory. His romantic history reads like a Who's Who of the 1980s and 1990s social circuit. Long before the Epstein scandal cast a permanent shadow over his reputation, he was the Navy hero linked to actress Koo Stark. Following his divorce from Ferguson, he was connected to a series of high-profile women, including businesswoman Amanda Staveley and former Playboy model Denise Martell.

Amanda Staveley, a Cambridge graduate who later led the Saudi-backed takeover of Newcastle United in 2021, was once so close to the royal that she helped decorate Royal Lodge. Although Andrew reportedly proposed in 2003, Staveley declined, citing that her independence would have 'disappeared' had she married into the firm.

Other alleged liaisons included 'scream queen' Angie Everhart and a bizarre 2006 encounter claimed by grunge singer Courtney Love, who said the royal turned up at her Hollywood home at 1 a.m. seeking to 'party'. Recent reports suggest Andrew may even consider a fresh start abroad, in locations such as Dubai or Saudi Arabia, where his royal lineage might still command respect.

Royal Lodge Eviction and the Future of Andrew

The timing of this romantic 'comeback' could not be more sensitive for the palace. King Charles has spent the past year streamlining the monarchy, and his brother's continued presence in the headlines remains a persistent headache. The eviction from Royal Lodge marks a symbolic end to Andrew's status as a protected senior royal.

While the king is expected to provide essential staff, such as a cook and groundsman from Sandringham to assist at Marsh Farm, the message is clear: the days of excessive royal shielding are over. As he prepares to move into Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate, there is intense speculation about whether he will remain in the UK at all. Some sources suggest he may seek a new life in Dubai or Saudi Arabia, where his royal lineage might still command a level of respect that has vanished in Britain.

Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson is reportedly finding the transition equally difficult. Friends describe her as being on a knife edge', struggling with uncertainty over her future while trying to maintain her independent career and public image. Although she has remained Andrew's fiercest defender, the move to separate lives marks a 'very substantial change' in their decades-long arrangement. Ferguson is reportedly planning her own independent 'comeback', looking for a new home and even hoping to 'land a rich man' to secure her financial future away from Andrew's controversies.

For the king, the concern is straightforward: an unmoored, 'disgraced' royal acting on his own terms is a PR disaster waiting to happen. If Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor does find a new companion, the royal family can only hope she encourages him to embrace a life of quiet, dignified obscurity — though his track record suggests 'quiet' is rarely part of the plan. Palace insiders remain on high alert, concerned about 'what he might get up to' once he is no longer under the semi-supervision of his ex-wife.
