Life has changed drastically for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the last couple of weeks. While he stepped back as a working royal in 2019, he still held a public standing as a Prince and the Duke of York.

Now, with all of those titles and honors gone, he is facing a future that is starkly different than the entitled life he once knew.

After being banished to King Charles’ Sandringham Estate, the former Prince is spending his last couple of months in isolation at Royal Lodge.

Even so, the life awaiting him in Norfolk will not resemble a hard exile, as many had hoped. Instead, it will place him in what royal watchers describe as 'cushioned' isolation.

After being forced to hand over the keys to Royal Lodge by 2026, Sarah Ferguson is reportedly desperate to get away from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The only problem?

She has yet to decide where to settle in her self-imposed exile.

While reports suggested she is considering a move to the UAE or Portugal, a source now claims the former Duchess is allegedly eyeing the U.S. for a fresh start.

Ferguson is reportedly longing for the sunshine of Beverly Hills or Palm Beach, hoping to blend in among other once-famous, now-disgraced faces.

What will become of Prince Louis is an increasingly complicated question for the monarchy.

In theory, once Prince William takes the throne, Louis would be poised to inherit the Duke of York title, as has traditionally been the case for the monarch’s second son.

But the title that once seemed destined for the young Prince has become the most radioactive inheritance now.

The Dukedom of York is now viewed as almost cursed, and that has everything to do with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s fall from grace and his shift from monarch’s son to a commoner.
