Royal Family News: Should Andrew And Fergie Be Evicted From Royal Lodge After Jeffrey Epstein Scandal?

British royal family news shows that Prince Andrew is generating headlines for the monarchy this week despite being hidden from view and wiped from the monarchy’s social media. That’s because Virginia Roberts brought a lawsuit against him in a New York court for sex abuse.

After the fact, senior royals are reportedly questioning whether he can or should retain his Royal Lodge home at Windsor.
