Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, will soon be leaving their accommodations at the Royal Lodge to lead a more isolated life away from the limelight of the royal family. Andrew was recently stripped of his royal titles by his brother, King Charles, and soon after, was evicted from the Royal Lodge alongside his ex-wife. The two have been living together all these years, even though they have been divorced for a long time. But now things are about to change.

Amid all the chaos, sources say that the royal family is worried about Mountbatten-Windsor and Fergie's mental health and well-being. With the ongoing scandal related to Jeffrey Epstein, the duo have lost a lot — their social standing, the power they held as royals, their titles, their home, and even some of their family. And chances are, they could lose even more.

Royal author Robert Jobson told The Sun that he doesn't think the former couple is faring well with all that is going on. "Not very well, I don’t think. I believe even members of the Royal family who have taken action are concerned about their mental health." It was previously revealed that the King is very upset with the situation, as like his mother, he too has always tried to keep their family together.

But given Mountbatten-Windsor's ties to Epstein and allegations against him made by the late Virginia Giuffre, there's no way for him to come back from that. In fact, things could get even worse. Rumor has it that, along with his royal titles, the former prince might also lose another honor. It is being discussed whether the Freedom of the City of London honor should be taken from him.

As Jobson said, while Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson's well-being is important, the victims of Epstein are even more so. "Most of all, though, you have to be concerned about the victims of the Epstein scandal, and that to me is the biggest worry. They're human beings. A lot has been taken away."

With all that is going on, rumors are also about Ferguson getting calls to do a tell-all. Talks of her doing a TV interview, revealing all the dark secrets of the royal family, have been on the table, and the royals are afraid she might take up on that offer. She and her ex-husband are set to leave the Royal Lodge after Christmas and start the new year in their new accommodations.

Mountbatten-Windsor will be moving to the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, but it is yet to be confirmed where Ferguson will be moving to. The Daily Mail recently reported that she could move in with her daughter, Princess Beatrice, at her Cotswolds home. The granny annexe of their six-bedroom house has recently been renovated, and Fergie might call it home.
