Andrew is expected to leave Royal Lodge in the coming weeks

Princess Eugenie has cut off all contact with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, a source has claimed.

The disgraced former royal was stripped of his titles last year due to his links with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and is said to be “devastated” about the estrangement from his daughter.


It is understood Eugenie did not visit Andrew at Christmas and is refusing to speak to him.

A source revealed: “There is no contact at all, nothing. She has completely cut him off.”

Eugenie established The Anti-Slavery Collective to help counter sex trafficking and is said to be angered by her father’s refusal to apologise to the Epstein victims.

Beatrice is said to be adopting a more nuanced approach to her relationships, as she seeks to maintain connections with both her father and the wider royal family.

Beatrice invited Andrew to the christening of her daughter, Athena, last month, but was not in attendance for a party after the event.

It is unclear whether Andrew and Eugenie spoke during the christening.

The source continued: “Beatrice is trying to walk the fine line of not cutting her father off and yet remaining close with the Royal Family.

“They aren't exactly in regular and close contact at the moment, but Eugenie isn't trying to walk that line. She's not speaking to him,” they told the Mail.

The revelation comes just days after it was stated that Andrew will leave Royal Lodge before the end of January.

Andrew is expected to move into a smaller property on the Sandringham Estate before moving into Marsh Farm when renovations are complete.

Workers were seen erecting a two-metre wooden barrier around part of Marsh Farm in Wolferton, shielding areas where the existing hedgerow provides insufficient cover.

Activity was visible at the site on Thursday, with an upstairs light illuminated in the main residence, and individuals spotted moving about inside.

Construction equipment was operating on the grounds, whilst a labourer was observed travelling between the principal building and an adjacent outbuilding.

Marsh Farm sits approximately two miles from Sandringham House, the King's Norfolk residence.

The property has stood unoccupied for a number of years and requires substantial work before it can serve as a suitable dwelling.

Removal vans were also pictured outside of Royal Lodge as the removal process from the Grade II 30-room mansion has begun.

A lifetime's accumulation of luxury items and personal possessions must find a new home, including his well-documented collection of dozens of teddy bears.
