In a recent turn of events, Buckingham Palace confirmed the future of Queen Elizabeth’s beloved corgis following former Duke of York Prince Andrew’s transition from Royal Lodge to a private residence on the Sandringham estate. Sarah Ferguson has agreed to leave her joint home at Royal Lodge with ex husband Prince Andrew. This confirmation arrives as he is experiencing profound transformations in his royal continuum.
Prince Andrew has reportedly been told to leave Royal Lodge, the Windsor mansion he shares with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. As part of this transition, he will not be taking a long list of items, including valuable artworks, to his new residence. This implementation decision has earned a fair amount of media attention. It’s particularly pegged to a misleading claim that Prince Andrew allegedly stole multi-million dollar artworks.
James Blunt, a close friend of Princess Beatrice, is well acquainted with the inner workings of the royal family. He approached the speculation directly during his interview on The Graham Norton Show. He did rebut the rumor that Prince Andrew had wanted to remove the artworks from the premises.
“All of it. Apart from the actual scar. It’s bizarre that people fell for it.” – James Blunt
Blunt’s comments come in contrast to a lighter incident involving himself and Ed Sheeran at a party hosted by Princess Beatrice at Royal Lodge. The two artists plotted an elaborate conspiracy to sell a sword. Sheeran was left with a serious cut to his face from this prank. Blunt joked about the incident, calling it “not that big of a deal” despite the very real injury.
“If he [Ed] said his face got cut while she was ‘knighting’ me then dashed to A&E before returning to the party, then he is a liar,” – James Blunt
“For a start, she is a princess and would be rehearsed and practised in these matters, and given the NHS waiting lists, it would have been impossible to get to hospital and back so quickly.” – James Blunt
Sarah Ferguson accompanied that video announcement with an explanation about the Queen’s corgis. That personal touch adds unexpected layers to the ever-evolving tale of her life after leaving Prince Andrew. The corgis will be under her guardianship. In doing so, we’ll ensure that they remain a much-loved part of the royal family UK.
