WATCH: King Charles pressuring Andrew to vacate Royal Lodge for Kate Middleton, William?
Battle lines have been drawn again between Prince Andrew and King Charles over the Duke of York’s home, Royal Lodge.
The King has reportedly increased pressure on his younger brother to vacate his 30-room Windsor mansion in favour of the smaller Frogmore Cottage, formerly the UK home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.The disgraced Duke of York was also spotted while out on a horse ride near his Windsor home earlier today.
At 64, Prince Andrew is understood to have a long lease on Royal Lodge. However, King Charles is ultimately responsible for all royal household finances and could choose to restrict funds, potentially causing Andrew to struggle with the high annual upkeep costs of the Grade II-listed property.
King Charles also currently covers Andrew’s security bill, costing £3 million a year, and it seems this long-running battle shows no signs of stopping.
