It seems that there is some tension brewing between brothers Charles and Andrew over the Royal Lodge in Windsor. Reports have surfaced that King Charles has plans to generate income from the £30 million mansion by renting it out for up to £1 million a year. This decision has apparently not been well-received by Prince Andrew, who has been living at the property and has shown reluctance to vacate it.
Ever since Andrew stepped back from his public duties amidst allegations of sex trafficking related to his association with the late Jeffrey Epstein, he has rejected all offers of alternative accommodation. However, it is believed that Charles is eager to have him leave the historic mansion and hand it back to the Crown Estates. This would allow for much-needed repairs and renovations to be carried out, all while generating income for the King's coffers and the country.
According to an insider, Charles has been exceptionally eager to get his brother to vacate the Royal Lodge. It is even being speculated that a rental fee of £1 million a year is not too far-fetched for a house of that size with such prestigious royal connections. This comes as Charles has reportedly threatened to sever ties with Andrew if he does not leave the property for Frogmore Cottage, which was previously occupied by Prince Harry.
Currently, it is understood that Andrew is living at the Royal Lodge with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. The property, situated in Windsor Great Park, is worth a staggering £30 million but is in dire need of refurbishment. In fact, there have been rumors that Prince William may have had his eye on the mansion for his own family at one point.
A friend of Charles has expressed concern over the situation, stating that if Andrew does not leave within a reasonable time frame, the King may have to reevaluate the support he provides for his brother. This would mean that Andrew would have to cover the majority of his own security, accommodation, and lifestyle costs, which may not be feasible in the long run. It remains to be seen how this disagreement between the brothers will be resolved, but it is clear that Charles is determined to make the most of the Royal Lodge and its potential to generate revenue.
