Glum Prince Andrew spotted as ‘crumbling’ Royal Lodge feud with King Charles rumbles on
Prince Andrew has been spotted out on the Windsor estate this morning riding a horse after returning from the royals' annual Balmoral break with the feud over his Royal Lodge home continuing
A glum-looking Prince Andrew has been spotted as the row over his Royal Lodge home rumbles on.
The Duke of York was seen riding a horse with a companion in Windsor Great Park today just days after returning back to his home following the royals’ annual Balmoral break. He failed to crack a smile as he completed his ride wearing a burgundy jumper and was also seen driving a Range Rover back to his home.
His appearance comes just weeks after it was reported he could finally be forced to leave his Windsor home by October as his private security has been axed.
It was reported that King Charles had decided to lay off the property’s 10-man team to put more pressure on the Duke of York to leave the home. Charles has been funding private guards at the Windsor property ever since Andrew’s armed cops were removed in 2022. Hehas lived at the 31-room property in 98 acres of grounds on the Windsor estate, for more than 20 years after signing a 75-year lease. He is based there with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and his friends say that due to his lease, he has no reason to give up the residence.
But he may soon be forced to leave the house with Charles reportedly telling the security team they are no longer needed at the lodge once their contract ends in the autumn. A Palace insider weighed in on the issue saying that “it isn’t a secret that the King wants him out” after reports that the Duke of York has become a “bit of a recluse”.
