Prince Andrew’s time at the Royal Lodge, worth almost £30 million, is coming to an end as King Charles has decided to make a major move amid the ongoing feud.
According to a royal expert, the monarch will soon throw the disgraced prince out of the 31-room mansion and gift it to his wife, Queen Camilla.
Speaking of TalkTV, Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield claimed that Charles wanted to give Camilla her own “space” and had his eye on the Royal Lodge.
“The King is thinking long-term and may want to leave the estate where he spent so much time with the Queen Mother to Queen Camilla if the worst happens,” Kinsey said.
“He wants to have a place for her in a private area that is close enough to family and close enough to a place where she feels safe and familiar,” she added.
The commentator further noted that Charles considers Andrew, the Duke of York, to be a “waste of resources” and will argue that he is “not maintaining the estate in accordance with the 75-year lease.”
Andrew, who has lived in the villa since 2003, has been informed that his 10-person security team will no longer be funded by the king from October, reported The Express.
They also claimed that King Charles’ desperate attempt to evict Andrew from the estate showed his view that the “disgraced” prince was damaging the royal family’s image.
