Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formally known as Prince Andrew, is set for a life change bigger than ever before within the coming weeks and months. On Thursday, Buckingham Palace announced that not only was King Charles removing "the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew", but he was also evicting him from his 30-room Royal Lodge home on the Windsor estate.

Instead, the prince will move to a private property on the monarch's Sandringham estate, where he can live out his life away from the royal world. The decision has been made as a result of Andrew's scandals surrounding his previous association with the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, despite the fact the former prince has always denied any accusations against him.

While many believe things could be worse for the King's brother in regard to his new housing situation, one former courtier said life will be "bleak" for Andrew.
