Inside Prince Andrew’s 30-room mansion Royal Lodge amid fears King Charles will evict Duke from 98-acre estate

Pictures have revealed the state of Prince Andrew’s 30-room country house, which has fallen into disrepair amid an ongoing feud between the Duke and King Charles.

The Duke of York has lived at Royal Lodge for almost 20 years, but his residence is now threatened by fears that King Charles will evict him from the 98-acre estate.

Prince Andrew has reportedly refused to leave behind properties believed to be worth and promised £30 million King Charles he would take care of the expensive repairs – despite having no apparent source of income.

But the king is said to be growing increasingly tired and frustrated by his brother’s refusal to leave to care for the country house in the heart of Windsor Park.

The King apparently wants his younger brother to move into the smaller Frogmore Cottage, amid rumors that the Prince of Wales is keen to move into the mansion to reflect his role as heir apparent.

Andrew, who took over the house on a long-term lease from the late Queen Mother, has reportedly paid more than £7.5 million of his own fortune for renovation work

Prince Andrew has lived in the 30-room mansion since taking over the lease in 2003 and he now lives there with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

Despite signing a 75-year lease, the king is reportedly considering evicting his brother from the manor and moving him to the smaller Frogmore Cottage.

Andrew first moved into the large mansion in 2004 and now lives there with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

He signed a 75-year lease, paying £250 a week and agreeing to maintain the huge property.

Part of the terms of this alleged deal with his older brother was that he would carry out repair work on the 19th century Grade II listed house, but these do not appear to have been carried out yet.

It was reported that Andrew, who was forced to give up his royal duties due to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, may receive a cut to his £249,000 royal allowance, making it difficult for the Duke to keep his promises.

He reportedly told his friends that such a drastic change in his finances would affect him would not be able to cover the costs of the estate.

Despite his possible money worries, sources close to the duke said in January: ‘Andrew isn’t going anywhere. He has a cast iron lease.”

The Mail revealed last year that the king had offered his younger brother a more modest property but Andrew reportedly saw this as a ‘demotion’ too far.

The Royal Lodge is located in the heart of Windsor Park, three miles south of Windsor Castle and is part of the Crown Estate.

Frogmore Cottage, previously occupied by Prince Harry and Meghan, was suggested as a possible alternative, but the Duke felt it would be a downgrade

It was previously the residence of the Queen Mother from 1952 until her death in 2002.

The 17th century lodge has 30 rooms, including seven bedrooms spread over two floors.

It has a large formal drawing room and drawing room, as well as the original conservatory.

Prince Andrew rented the Royal Lodge from the Crown Estate almost 20 years ago for a one-off payment of £1 million.

To date, the Duke has spent around £7 million of his winning fortune on renovating the property, meaning he has spent almost £40 million since 2003, despite the property not being worth £30 million if it were on today the market would come.

The repair work includes £200,000 for roof maintenance and work to resolve a damp problem throughout the property.

In 2018, Andrew’s youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, held her wedding reception at the Royal Lodge following her wedding to Jack Brooksbank.
