Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could trade the gray skies of England for a new life in Bahrain following his exile from the Royal Family.
In light of his alleged ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the scandal that followed, the disgraced royal was recently evicted from his Royal Lodge mansion (although he’s yet to leave), and stripped of his last remaining titles. Until now, he was expected to move to the Sandringham Estate, but royal experts think otherwise.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein runs deep
According to royal biographer Robert Jobson, who spoke to PEOPLE, the former Duke of York could move to Bahrain. This comes after King Charles’ recent meeting with the ruler of Bahrain.
“The King saw the King of Bahrain the other day,” Robert told the publication. “It could be a place where Andrew gets the recognition of being the second son of Queen Elizabeth, rather than this.”
“Other disgraced people have gone to the Middle East,” the author said. And he’s right. Spain’s King Juan Carlos I moved to Abu Dhabi in 2020 after stepping back from public life amid financial scandals.
Beyond that, Robert pointed out that the former Prince Andrew already has ties to Bahrain. “Andrew did a lot of business in Bahrain,” he said, before referencing rumors that Andrew will move to Marsh Farm. “I just can’t see him being on an isolated farm in Sandringham.”
Robert isn’t alone in theorising that Andrew could move to the Middle East. Fellow royal biographer, Andrew Lownie, agrees. “He doesn’t like the sound of being on the Sandringham estate,” the author suggested. “I think he wants to go somewhere where he can just get away from everything.”
