A royal expert claims there is a reason why Prince Andrew is wanted out of Royal Lodge and moved into a smaller property.
Prince Andrew refuses to leave Royal Lodge
Prince Andrew’s expensive lifestyle and dislike by the British public is a major factor in the plans to have him move out of Royal Lodge into smaller accommodation, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke of York has been in dispute with his brother, King Charles, over his living situation as he has been refusing to leave the 30-bedroom property in Windsor, thought to be worth £30million.
Andrew’s struggle with the upkeep of the mansion, where he lives with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, has caused quite a headache for the monarch, who wants him to move to a much smaller home.
The royal was granted a 75-year lease agreement back in 2003 by the Crown Estate, which states that he is required to “repair, renew, uphold, clean and keep in repair and, where necessary, rebuild” the mansion.
But after stepping down as a senior working royal in 2019 due to his ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, something Andrew vehemently denies, the Duke has no means of an income, apart from his naval pension and a “generous” allowance funded privately by the King.

It’s been previously reported that Charles planned to have Andrew move out from the property and move into the much smaller Frogmore Cottage – the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
However, Andrew rejected the offer and refused to leave his Windsor home, as he is determined to stay put.
Now royal expert Hugo Vickers claimed that Andrew is no longer wanted for any public duties and the best solution to the dispute would be if he volunteers to move out of the Grade II-listed property himself.
He told The Sun: “I think we must all accept that he is not wanted for any public duties. If you were running a charity you wouldn’t be asking Prince Andrew to come and be your guest of honour. So nobody wants him in a public way.
“So there he is living at Royal Lodge, playing golf, seeing his children and grandchildren and riding in the park and it is expensive.
