Prince Andrew could be kicked out of Royal Lodge by King Charles if he lets the Windsor home fall into severe disrepair, a property expert has warned.

Pictures of the building have surfaced showing its exterior in a sorry state, with visible mould, dodgy repair jobs and worrying structural cracks.

The Duke of York, who’s been living it up at the property with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson since 2003 on a 75-year lease, might now have to cough up an extra £400,000 for maintenance after King Charles reportedly axed his £1million annual handout, The Sun reports.

Terry Fisher from We Buy Any Home reckons that while kicking Andrew out is “an unlikely and extreme outcome”, it’s not off the table if he doesn’t keep up his end of the bargain.

He explained: “The lease for Royal Lodge reportedly includes maintenance responsibilities, especially given the property’s historic status. The Crown Estate would have a vested interest in ensuring that Royal Lodge remains in good condition and failing to maintain the estate could give them grounds to review or even terminate the lease if it becomes a preservation risk.

“In the case of severe neglect, the Crown Estate could argue that Andrew has breached the lease terms, leading to a formal review.”

This could mean anything from a tougher lease agreement to Prince Andrew being told to pack his bags, reports the Express.

Terry has suggested that eviction “would likely be a last resort especially as it could be politically sensitive, but it’s a measure that may be pursued in a bid to protect the estate, if his inability to maintain it becomes evident over time”.

He also pointed out that lease agreements often include inspection clauses which could allow the Estate to intervene early and assess the condition of the property, taking action to prevent further decay.

Terry also expressed concern for Andrew’s well-being, given the state of the Lodge revealed in recent photos. He warned: “If Andrew doesn’t tackle the visible mould and structural cracks soon, it could have far-reaching effects. For one, if left untreated, damp and mould can lead to more serious health hazards and even impact the liveability of certain areas.

“Structural issues, if allowed to worsen, might also raise questions from the Crown Estate about his stewardship of the property.”

Gov.uk highlights the health risks associated with damp and mould in homes, which can produce allergens, irritants, and toxins. Healthline also cautions that exposure to mould spores can trigger allergy-like symptoms such as a runny nose and congestion, eye irritation, sneezing, and lung irritation.
