King Charles will show true feelings on ‘loose canon’ Prince Andrew with Christmas decision
King Charles and Prince Andrew are seemingly still at odds in the feud over Royal Lodge.
It has long been reported that the King would like his disgraced younger brother to move out of his 30-room mansion in Windsor Great Park, into the nearby smaller Frogmore Cottage. It is also believed that Andrew’s annual £1 million “living allowance” has been withdrawn by Charles, with many left wondering how the Duke of York can continue to pay for the upkeep of the home.
However, Andrew, who lives with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, is digging his heels in and remaining at the property with reports he is now financing the security needed for the property himself.
Andrew was forced to step down from public life in 2019 after a disastrous interview on BBC’s Newsnight where he failed to say he regretted his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to royal author Stephen Bates, the King had realised that his younger brother’s association with Epstein had made him a ‘loose cannon’. And it has now left Charles with a huge decision to make this Christmas – will Andrew be allowed to walk with the rest of the royals to church at Sandringham on Christmas morning?
For the last two years, Andrew has been allowed to make the public journey to church alongside the King, Queen Camilla, his daughter Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and last year, his ex-wife, Sarah. And The Times reports that if Andrew is allowed to join this year, it will show he hasn’t been completely frozen out by Charles.
