King Charles to force Prince Andrew out of Royal Lodge over latest controversy
King Charles set to take final decision on Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge residency amid spy scandal
King Charles may increase pressure on Prince Andrew to leave the Royal Lodge as he brings another shame to the Royal family with the Chinese spy scandal.
After backing out of annual Royal Christmas bash set to take place at Sandringham, Andrew will mark the occasion at the 30-room estate with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, reports claim.
However, royal commentator Sarah Louise Robertson has hinted that it could be the “disgraced” Duke of York’s last Christmas at the Royal Lodge, predicting “mounting pressure” on him to relocate.
“Given obviously what’s unfolded over the last week, further embarrassment that Andrew’s heaped on the King and the Royal Family, they decided that they should keep a low profile,” Robertson said on his decision to skip this year’s Christmas bash.
“We won’t be seeing Andrew on the royal walkabout, and he’s not going to be staying in Wood Cottage this Christmas like he did last year,” she told GB News. “He’s going to be staying at Royal Lodge with Sarah Ferguson, and their two daughters are both spending Christmas with their in-laws.”
She went on to note that the Royal family may increase pressure on Andrew to leave the proper next year. “I think next year we’re going to see more pressure heaped on Andrew to move out of Royal Lodge and to go into a smaller property on the Windsor estate,” she said.
“It’s not like he’s going to be left out in the cold, homeless, so to speak. And like other people, he’s not being turfed out onto the street.”
