All the Properties Andrew Has Lost Since His Epstein Scandal
Losing Ground
While the Epstein scandal shocked the world with its disturbing revelations, it also rattled the very foundations of the British royal family. Accused of maintaining close ties with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and later facing allegations linked to s----- abuse and human trafficking, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor found himself increasingly isolated from royal life. Stripped of his military titles and royal patronages, he was left to fend for himself as the monarchy distanced itself from the controversy. But titles and honors were not the only things he lost.
Royal Lodge... to Lodgings?
The Epstein scandal not only cost Mountbatten-Windsor his prestige, influence, and access to the privileges once associated with his royal status, but he was also left homeless. The first setback was losing his very residence, his pride, the Royal Lodge. He was ordered to vacate the 30-room mansion, where he had been living since 2003. The disgraced ex-Prince was ordered to surrender the lease and vacate the property with all his belongings.
East Lodge: Cottage Cut
Just like the Royal Lodge, Mountbatten-Windsor also had the lease to East Lodge in Berkshire, which is a Grade II-listed 19th-century cottage situated near Windsor since 1998. The former Duke, after his scandal, was instructed to surrender the lease, which he eventually did in March 2026. Although he did not primarily live in the estate, it was still used by his staff members.
Sunninghill Park: Sold Away
Next in the list is a 665-acre country house and estate, Sunninghill Park, which previously belonged to Mountbatten-Windsor. It was gifted to him by the late Queen Elizabeth as a wedding present. The disgraced royal resided in the estate before moving into Royal Lodge following his divorce. The property was later sold to Kazakh billionaire Timur Kulibayev in 2007, who proceeded to demolish and rebuild it into a new mansion.
York Cottage: Prince to Pensioner
Popularly known as 'Bachelor's Cottage', the York Cottage was Andrew's primary residence before marriage. He still had access to it until the scandal broke out. Later, in 2025, after he was stripped of his title and honors, the York Cottage was one of the popular options for Andrew's scaled-back living. The property is now allocated as holiday accommodation for the royal staff and their families.
Verbier Chalet Troubles
In 2014, the luxury chalet in Verbier, Switzerland, was bought jointly by Mountbatten-Windsor and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, with financial assistance from Queen Elizabeth II. The Swiss property was a witness to a lot of beloved memories, not just for Andrew and his family, but also for Prince Harry. Unfortunately, staggering debts reportedly forced the couple to sell the luxurious property for on or around the asking price of £19 million ($25 million) to a British family, per The Telegraph. Yet reports later in early 2026 claimed the transaction generated little or no remaining profit once outstanding debts and liabilities were cleared.
