King Charles III wants to evict the prodigal brother, but only one person can do it
The favorite son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Andrew (63), he still doesn't want to leave her The Royal Lodge (Royal Lodge) despite the requests made by his older brother, King Charles III (74).
After Prince Andrew again refused to leave his Windsor villa, King Charles III ran out of options to kick him out. The Royal Lodge residence became the biggest point of contention between the two brothers after Andrew decided to ignore the king's demands to leave the 30-bedroom property.
The house, which is on the inventory of the royal estate and is located in Windsor, has been Prince Andrew's home for two decades, but Charles wants to move it out to accommodate them the prince and princess of wales.
But Andrew insists he signed a long-term lease with their late mother Queen Elizabeth II, at the £30 million estate, where he lives with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
According to Andrew's friends, the lease will run for several decades, and only one person in the UK has the power to kick it out, and that's not his brother. king Charles the Third, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
"The lease is in the duke's name, so no one can take it away from him. It's a long lease and he has 80 to 90 years left, and this is signed between him and the Crown Estate, so it's not a matter for the King, it's for the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The only way to get him to move out will be if a deal is reached, then he will have to agree," a friend of Prince Andrew told Time.
The feud between the two brothers has been going on for months, only to be further intensified by the first financial statements seen by the king, which show the estate is too expensive to maintain, contrary to Charles' desire to cut the royal budget.
