Following the loss of his royal titles and public roles, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has retreated into a quieter, more isolated life largely defined by routine activities such as horse riding, shooting, golf, and extensive television watching. Once a prominent figure in royal and social circles, he now keeps a low profile, avoiding public engagements and nightlife, with his social interactions and formal duties significantly diminished. His current residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor is soon to change as he is set to move to a less desirable property on the Sandringham Estate, a transition he reportedly resists.

Despite the dramatic shift in his lifestyle and status, Andrew finds some solace in his role as a grandfather, maintaining close relationships with his grandchildren. However, his social circle has contracted, and the atmosphere around him is described as muted and solitary. Preparations to leave Royal Lodge involve packing up a controversial past, including personal belongings and a notable teddy bear collection. Overall, Andrew’s life now contrasts starkly with his former prominence, marked by a slow, quiet existence punctuated by waiting and reflection.
