King Charles has intensified his dispute with Prince Andrew in what’s now being dubbed ‘the siege of Royal Lodge’.
The King’s long-standing need for the Duke of York to vacate the opulent £30 million property has reached a brand new stage.
Andrew, who was stripped of his royal duties following his controversial hyperlinks with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has resisted leaving the Windsor house he shares with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
Charles has reportedly withdrawn Prince Andrew’s 10-person safety workforce, with their contracts set to run out this autumn.
Sources verify that the Duke will now must cowl the price of any future safety preparations himself—a possible expense working into thousands and thousands of kilos if he chooses to stay at Royal Lodge.
“Everyone seems to be speculating that this transfer is designed to power the Duke out of Royal Lodge,” a supply advised The Solar on Sunday.
“It’s no secret that the King desires him out.”
Prince Andrew stays resolute in his bid to remain at Royal Lodge, regardless of mounting strain from him.
The Grade II-listed property, which boasts 30 rooms and overlooks a sprawling 90-acre park, presents a formidable problem for any eviction efforts.
Andrew’s 75-year lease, signed in 2003, secures his proper to the residence for simply £250 per week, offered he maintains the property.
The lease mandates that he preserve the Nineteenth-century constructing in good restore—a frightening activity given his obvious lack of revenue.
