Royal rumble! King Charles and Prince Andrew’s fight over Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park continues. The Duke of York, 64, reportedly has raised the money needed to continue staying put after King Charles, 76, had Andrew’s personal allowance cut and asked his brother to downsize by moving into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s onetime home, Frogmore Lodge.
In 2003, Andrew signed a 75-year lease to reside at Royal Lodge, but Charles has been trying to evict him ever since the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. “Someone said to me the other day, he’s got nothing else,” Robert Hardman, author of Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, says of why Andrew won’t move out. “He has no public life. He has no public role. And he’s clearly devoted to this home, and he likes being there. So, if he can make it work, he’s going to try.”
But now Andrew is going to have raise more money: The 30-room mansion, which dates back to the 1600s and was rebuilt in 1840, reportedly needs numerous repairs and updates. “Andrew,” source exclusively tells In Touch, “may not have the money for all of that.”
