Prince Andrew appears to be testing his brother King Charles patience, as the monarch prepares to take a stern action.
Charles has been trying since last year to evict his disgraced brother, given that he has been stripped off of his royal titles and patronages.
Last month, the war over the Royal Lodge intensified as sources revealed that Charles finally is acting on his threats, by cutting off Andrew’s security at the 30-room mansion. Now, sources reveal that the King is ready to swing another axe at his brother.
A Palace insider told The Times that Charles “patience is running thin” as the disgraced royal is “taking longer than desirable to recognise the reality of the situation.”
Andrew, who lives with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson in the massive estate, was accused raping a minor on three different occasions and his ties with convicted trafficker and paedophile Jeffery Epstein have also been criticised.
Sources shared that Charles will be speeding up the eviction process whether Andrew likes it or not.
Andrew’s defiance of Charles’ orders to evict with his “childish” antics is annoying the monarch. Royal photographer, Jim Bennett, dubbed the Duke of York as an “idiot” having “lack of guidance” over dealing of his situation.
It is understood that Andrew will be moved to Frogmore Cottage, the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
While it was thought that Andrew also has the option of moving into Fergie’s Mayfair home, royal commentator Gareth Russell told GB News that security issues may rule out that option.
“Moving someone like Prince Andrew, who is a brother of the monarch and also a very controversial public figure, into a private residence in the centre of one of the busiest cities in the world, is not something that can feasibly be undertaken unless there is a security presence there,” he explained.
“Plus, that doesn’t really solve the problem of how to keep Andrew safe without making him a burden to the taxpayer.”
