Royal commentator Lady Hervey suggested on GBN America that King Charles appears to be instituting new rules, evident in his handling of Prince Andrew's living arrangements. She questioned the necessity for Andrew to retain a 30-room mansion when a smaller residence would suffice.
Lady Hervey remarked, "Charles seems intent on prioritizing Camilla's needs. It's perplexing. Why would Camilla require additional accommodation when they already have residences like Windsor Castle? Why displace the longstanding occupants like the Yorks and the Queen's corgis? It's quite baffling."
In response, GBN America host Nana Akua acknowledged the King's authority in decision-making, emphasizing Charles's prerogative in determining residency arrangements within the royal family.
Addressing Andrew's potential relocation to Frogmore Cottage, Nana remarked, "Given Andrew's public perception and the monarchy's reputation, it seems reasonable for the King to consider moving him to Frogmore Cottage, which is a suitable alternative."
Despite Prince Andrew's lease on Royal Lodge, King Charles wields significant influence over financial matters, which could impact Andrew's future living situation.
A royal source suggested that while the King is willing to provide support, there's a limit to his generosity. They hinted at the practicality of Frogmore Cottage, which offers security benefits within the Windsor Castle perimeter, potentially reducing security expenses.
The source added, "If Prince Andrew hesitates to accept more suitable accommodation, the King may reassess the extent of his support. It's a matter of acknowledging reality and making prudent decisions for the monarchy's future."
