Earlier today, observers noticed Prince Andrew driving his Range Rover from his residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor, reflecting the strain of the situation.
Reports indicate that King Charles, aged 75, has been adamant about Andrew finding alternative accommodations, emphasizing that his continued stay at the 30-room mansion could lead to discomfort. This disagreement, dubbed the "siege of Royal Lodge," has escalated as Charles intensifies efforts to persuade Andrew to relocate from the residence he shares with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
Insiders reveal that the monarch, who financially supports Andrew, may reconsider his assistance if Andrew persists in refusing offers of a new home. Despite pleas from the King for the past 18 months, Andrew, who has withdrawn from public duties following legal settlements related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, has remained adamant about staying put.
Andrew's refusal to relocate, despite being offered Frogmore Cottage after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's departure, has strained relations further. While Andrew asserts his rights with a 75-year lease, those close to him express sadness at the situation's unfolding dynamics.
As Charles grows increasingly unwilling to fund Andrew's extravagant lifestyle from his own pocket, the Duke finds himself in a precarious position, facing potential isolation and discomfort at Royal Lodge.
