Prince Andrew He now lives a “disconnected existence” watching hours of TV after giving up the rest of his royal titles.
British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital, “Striped of status and purpose, Prince Andrew frequently cuts a lonely, disconnected existence.” “Reportedly, his lifestyle sees him spend most of his days in his large living room, TV room doing dull activities which are amusing as befits his rather eccentric personality.”
“The super-sized wall TV shows war movies and war-themed games, and he enjoys live plane spotting tracker apps as well as online golf tournaments,” she added. “He does occasional gardening around his Windsor estate and regularly rides horses.”

Chard noted that Prince Andrew’s gardening is probably “incredibly grounding” and gives him plenty of time to think. Horseback riding and golf can also “contribute to the growth he needs.” mental health.“
“I imagine he feels incredibly wrong and has a hard time, because it’s always everybody else’s fault instead of thinking long and hard about the right course of action,” Chard explained.
“On occasion, his dashing, misfit character has enjoyed being out and about in public,” the photographer told Fox News Digital, referring to Prince Andrew’s “Harry Potter” set outings with his grandchildren a few weeks ago. According to Chard, people were “absolutely horrified and shocked” to see the prince in public “without a care in the world”.

Buckingham Palace Prince Andrew is being pushed out of his home at the Royal Lodge, just days after giving up the rest of his royal titles, according to Daily Mail.
The palace summoned the broadcast media to the Royal Lodge on Thursday, hinting at an announcement. It was later closed, according to the outlet.
Royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that Prince Andrew is “coming out of the royal lodge,” but was unsure when the announcement would be made.
“In consideration of King Charles III Visit Rome, and because Prince Andrew didn’t want any reports to dominate press coverage, it wasn’t previously announced,” Fordwich said. “In terms of where he’ll be going, probably in the Scottish Highlands, rather remote.”

According to Fordwich, Prince Andrew may not be planning a “next move”.
“He’s clinging to the Lodge desperately. While there’s speculation about some kind of recollection, he’s more likely to remain silent.”
“He knows he’s lost all his remaining dignity,” she added. “He acts much more like a naughty boy than a sophisticated public figure or strategist.”
While not a strategist, Prince Andrew is “undoubtedly” somewhat under siege, according to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams. “He is visited by his daughters and their sons from time to time,” he told Fox News Digital.
Outside of family time, Fitzwilliams claims the Prince rides and plays golf. “He watches television for hours,” he added. “He also walks his dogs.”
Fordwich pointed out that “as Andrew’s shooting life begins in 10 days, the pheasant’s shooting life will come into play.”
“However, it could be a bad mistake to assume he’s completely down and out. He has a very stubborn, mean streak,” Fitzwilliams said. “He reportedly canceled a party for Sarah Ferguson’s 66th birthday and it would have been grand. I doubt he can get funding from overseas, despite everything. However, if this continues, where will he and Sarah Ferguson be going?”
