Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has begun moving out of his Windsor mansion shortly after the recent release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. According to the Press Association, Mountbatten-Windsor has shifted much of his belongings to a property on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, owned by his brother, King Charles. Although he retains the lease on his Windsor property until October, he has made a significant part of the move already.
The former duke’s future residence, Marsh Farm, is reportedly not ready yet but is expected to be ready by early April. While the move out of Royal Lodge has been widely anticipated to occur this year, officials emphasize it is unrelated to the latest Epstein file disclosures. The complete transition is expected to take several weeks, and Mountbatten-Windsor may still occasionally appear at his Windsor home during this period.
This relocation follows reports that police are investigating allegations involving Mountbatten-Windsor and a woman allegedly sent to the UK by Epstein for a sexual encounter. Lawyers for the woman have urged King Charles to engage with them regarding these claims. Brad Edwards, representing the woman through the US law firm Edwards Henderson, has stated that his client spent a night with Mountbatten-Windsor after touring Buckingham Palace.

A Thames Valley Police spokesperson confirmed awareness of reports relating to a 2010 incident in Windsor but noted no formal complaint has been made to the police by either the lawyer or the alleged victim as yet.
Mountbatten-Windsor’s name appears multiple times in documents published by the US Department of Justice on January 30, including images suggesting his presence at Epstein’s New York residence alongside an unidentified woman. He also exchanges emails with Epstein, including an invitation to Buckingham Palace.
US Vice President JD Vance recently expressed support for summoning Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before US lawmakers concerning his association with Epstein, signaling ongoing political interest in the matter. Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied all wrongdoing.
In 2022, he made a multi-million-pound settlement with his primary accuser, Virginia Giuffre, whom he denies ever having met. Last year, Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his royal titles by King Charles following the posthumous release of Giuffre’s book, in which she alleges she was trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell when she was 17.
