‘Sleazebag’ Andrew Reportedly Already ‘Signing Up for Dating Apps’ After ‘Not Having to Play Royal Anymore’—He Wants to ‘Relive His Youth’

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is moving on. After the former royal was stripped of his titles, he’s now enjoying everyday life, and that includes dating apps.
RadarOnline reports that the former prince is feeling “oddly liberated” since losing his titles has left him “freer than he’s been in decades” – and that he’s ready to “start living again.”
A friend told the site, “Andrew’s mood has done a complete 180. He keeps saying it’s a weight off his shoulders not having to play the royal anymore. He’s making jokes about signing up for dating apps, hitting the pub like a regular guy, even throwing parties again. For someone who’s been publicly humiliated, he seems oddly cheerful.”
Another source said that same sentiment: “He’s chatting about dating, fine wine, and weekend getaways like he’s twenty again. It’s as if he’s wiped the slate clean and decided to relive his youth. But it’s also ridiculous given his links to Epstein, and a bit sad – but he genuinely thinks he’s got a chance at enjoying life again.”
For “Sleazebag” Andrew, it’s “turning the humiliation into opportunity.” A friend has called it his “big reset” into civilian life. “He’s taken to introducing himself as ‘Mr. Windsor’ and insists he’s more down-to-earth these days. He laughs that being a commoner suits him – he can live like everyone else, only with a nicer bottle on the table.”
Now that his duties have been relieved, other things are encapsulating his mind. “He’s talking about traveling again, maybe spending time in places like the Middle East, and surrounding himself with non-royal friends,” he said. “He keeps saying he’s free at last – no rules, no restrictions, no palace drama.”
Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson are set to leave their home of Royal Lodge, where they have lived together since 2008, despite being separated. According to the BBC, Ferguson “will make her own living arrangements,” and “it’s believed she won’t be moving to Sandringham in Norfolk with Andrew.” However, there have been no reports about where the two will be moving, and if it will truly be a fresh start for them.
