Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly has a new woman in his life despite his extremely public fall from grace which culminated in him being stripped of his royal titles and thrown out of his royal residence.<\/p>\n

The 66-year-old former Duke of York was forced out of Royal Lodge , a 30-room mansion in Windsor Great Park, earlier this year after coming under pressure to leave from his brother, King Charles.<\/p>\n

Following revelations about his friendship with the late paedophile and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew was moved into a more humble abode on the King\u2019s Sandringham estate.<\/p>\n

But its seems he hasn\u2019t been alone while in royal exile on Marsh Farm, with a royal insider revealing he has been kept company by a mysterious new woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been seeing a (local) woman in Norfolk,\u201d the source told NewsNation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The public message from Buckingham Palace is that Andrew\u2019s movements are heavily restricted in the months since he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, but in reality the former royal\u2019s actions looks an awful lot like a European vacation.<\/p>\n

Royal biographer and expert on the House of York Andrew Lownie, says the disgraced Duke\u2019s exile is a lot more luxurious than the Crown has led the public to believe.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe still thinks he\u2019s a hotshot businessman,\u201d Mr Lownie told NewsNation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d heard that he\u2019d gone to the south of France and was actually looking to buy property there \u2014 which doesn\u2019t suggest that he\u2019s worried about going to prison. There\u2019s stories of him going to Switzerland, even going to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got his passport still. He can nip out the back door at Marsh Farm and be driven to the local airport and stuck on a private jet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The royal expert also claims the royal freeze-out is largely theatrical for the benefit of the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt suits the purposes of the royal family to suggest that he\u2019s under house arrest, that they\u2019re giving him a hard time, they\u2019re distancing themselves because of the reputational damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think behind the scenes, it\u2019s still a pretty cosy relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that it\u2019s been \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d for Andrew, who has been \u201csmuggled out of the house\u201d to secretly visit his royal siblings at their homes and reportedly his \u2018new girlfriend\u2019.<\/p>\n

Mr Lownie also went on to reveal that the disgraced Prince is not on speaking terms with his youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie.<\/p>\n

\u201cEugenie is still very cross with him, and he\u2019s very cross with her,\u201d Mr Lownie said, adding that he does not even know whether Andrew has visited Eugenie\u2019s new baby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly has a new woman in his life despite his extremely public fall from grace which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":883027,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134,13935],"class_list":["post-883026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-royals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=883026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/883027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=883026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=883026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
