Prince Andrew faces a firm deadline to leave Royal Lodge after King Charles III escalated efforts to remove his brother from the Windsor estate, according to royal sources.
The King has already stripped Andrew of royal titles and honorary roles. He also launched a formal process to reclaim Royal Lodge, a 30-room mansion in Windsor. Andrew has delayed his departure for months, citing the scale of the move and the volume of belongings stored at the property.
Reports say Andrew’s proposed new residence, Marsh Farm in Norfolk, is far smaller than Royal Lodge. That size difference has complicated the transition. Royal correspondent Rebecca English of the Daily Mail now reports that officials have set a clear deadline.
“The plan is that he will not be at Royal Lodge by Easter,” a source said. The same source added that temporary arrangements may be needed before a permanent move to Norfolk.

Royal insiders say Andrew’s public appearances have added to tensions within the family. They argue that his visibility has frustrated efforts to resolve the matter quietly.

“It’s difficult to know if he is being deliberately provocative, stubborn, or simply careless,” one insider said. “But he struggles to keep a low profile and continues to make poor decisions.”
With a deadline now in place, officials expect Andrew to vacate Royal Lodge by Easter, even if interim housing becomes necessary. The move would mark a decisive step in King Charles’s efforts to draw a line under the issue and restore control over royal residences.
