If Prince Andrew is forced to leave his Windsor property, there is a possibility that the Royal Lodge will be the site of another royal’s eviction. King Charles is apparently planning to remove private funding for the estate’s security, which already costs £3 million annually, in light of financial concerns regarding the maintenance of the 30-bedroom home, which is thought to be worth around £30 million, according to the Daily Mail.
Without the Duke of York’s economic support, maintenance and security may be required.
Prince Andrew, 64, was under financial strain last month when struggling to pay the £400, 000 annual maintenance costs for the Royal Lodge, and King Charles ‘ decision to stop funding safety adds to this.
The Crown Estate, which owns the property, deems it ideal for Royal Lodge to stay under the Royal Family’s ownership. Companions of the Yorks have suggested there is another justification for the evacuation as a result of this circumstance.
Daily Mail’s writer, Richard Eden, wrote in his row,” Interestingly, more than one friend of the Yorks has suggested the same idea to me as to why this expulsion’ strategy’ has begun”, the Daily Mail’s diary editor wrote. If Queen Camilla were to surpass him,” could it be that the King sees Royal Lodge as a possible potential home?”
Back in 2003, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson paid £1 million for a 75-year license on the home. The couple also reside at Royal Lodge, each occupying its own arms despite their marriage in 1996. King Charles and the Duke and Duchess of York are now spending an annual summer surrender at Balmoral Castle. Richard Eden, speaking on Palace Confidential, hinted at ability anxiety among the princes during this summer time in Scotland.
There is no compelling reason to get rid of him because the king house owns the property, according to Eden, who is paying for the security costs. The King, however, has a lot of money, and it just seems little that he is trying to get rid of him.
As the princes spend their time engaging in activities like birds shooting, herring fishing, and outings, the future of Royal Lodge and Prince Andrew’s house there remains ambiguous. Prince Andrew and King Charles may start to discuss the matter after the Duke and Duchess of York arrive at Balmoral for the retreat.
