Lesser-known royal property ruled out for Prince Andrew as Royal Lodge row deepens

A lesser-known royal property has been ruled out as a substitute home for Prince Andrew after King Charles reportedly cut off his brother’s 10-strong security detail at Royal Lodge in a bid to oust him.

Last year it emerged that Andrew, 64, could not meet the £400,000-a-year upkeep costs of the 30-bedroom home, which is thought to be worth £30 million.

King Charles now appears to be withdrawing private funding for security on the estate which currently costs £3 million a year.
