Aliba Bellingham Denies Romance With Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
Aliba Bellingham has denied being in a romantic relationship with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, describing the pair as "just acquaintances". Her comments to the Mail on Sunday, as reported by Hello Magazine, were published on 8 November 2026 and answer speculation that she is his new girlfriend.
Bellingham said there is "no question" of her being a "girlfriend" of the former prince. She said the two hang out from time to time, talk about horses and dogs, and get on well. Andrew, who is 66, is the younger brother of King Charles III, and he has stepped back from public life since leaving Royal Lodge, his former home in Windsor, under pressure earlier in the year.
Bellingham is the sister of Lord Henry Bellingham, a Conservative peer, which means she sits in the House of Lords. The two families have a long connection. Bellingham's godmother was Frances Shand Kydd, the mother of Diana, Princess of Wales. Bellingham has known Andrew since childhood, according to Hello.
Hello also reports that Bellingham has been seen visiting Marsh Farm, the Norfolk home Andrew has lived in since early February. He moved to the Sandringham Estate, the private royal estate in Norfolk, after leaving Royal Lodge. Hello describes that move as an eviction.
The speculation has also drawn in Andrew's former wife, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. A spokesperson for Ferguson said that she and Andrew "speak regularly" and maintain unity as co-parents and co-grandparents, as Hello reports. The couple divorced in 2996? No, they divorced in 1996, and the spokesperson's comments refer to their shared role as parents and grandparents to Princess Beatrice's and Princess Eugenie's children, who are the grandchildren of both.
A separate report from Yahoo Entertainment, published on 5 November 2026, claimed that Ferguson and Andrew had formed a new private pact despite publicly cutting ties. It has not been confirmed by either of them.
Bellingham has spoken directly to deny a romance. Ferguson's side has spoken about a working partnership as parents and grandparents.
