With the latest Epstein revelations putting the financial deal between the King and Prince Andrew in jeopardy, can Charles really expel his brother from the Royal Lodge?
Despite paying a peppercorn rent, Andrew spent at least £7.5 million on renovations when he was given a lease until 2078.
Under the terms, he can pass ownership to his daughters. And what about stripping Andrew of his titles? The King can obtain his Knighthood of the Garter and Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order with a simple signature. To depose his Duchy of York, Parliament must pass legislation.
The definitive list of royal engagements in 2023, recently published, shows that despite his age, the Duke of Gloucester, 79, took on more duties (190) than William (175) and Kate (134).

The advancing years of many members of the king's downsized family, consisting of eleven working royals, must be a nagging concern for him.
None are under 40 and seven are over 75. Princess Alexandra, 86, is rumored to be in poor health and is effectively retired.
Her brother, the Duke of Kent, 88, has “mobility problems” and has been replaced as chairman of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission by Princess Anne. At 73, the evergreen Anne can't go on forever.
The now self-proclaimed New Labor thug Derek Draper once charmingly charmed Samantha Cameron at a dinner party.
So much so that Sam, emphasizing her northern roots, told Draper she was a Yorkshire girl.
Mrs David Cameron didn't mention that she grew up on the 300-acre estate of Normanby Hall, in north Lincolnshire, and then at Sutton Park, North Yorkshire, an 18th-century Georgian house.

'I was accused of creating a misogynistic monster. I don't agree with Daniel on a lot of things,” said Prue Leith (pictured).
What is Prue Leith's response to her Tory MP son Danny Kruger claiming Rishi Sunak faces 'annihilation' at the upcoming election?
She remembers with a shudder the reaction when Danny expressed his discomfort at the fact that women were allowed to terminate a pregnancy until full term.
“All hell broke loose,” she says. 'I was accused of creating a misogynistic monster. I don't agree with Daniel on many things. He is a Christian; I am an atheist. I am in favor of assisted dying; he is against it. He has more in store than a Twitter storm allows.”
LBC's Nick Ferrari tells Radio Times that the guest chair in his studio was bolted to the floor because it was the only way to keep regular interviewee Boris Johnson in webcam focus.
When Nick explained this to former Scotland Yard Commissioner Cressida Dick, she replied: 'We do this in our interrogation rooms so our officers don't get hit over the head with it.'
