In a dramatic turn of events within the royal family, King Charles has delivered a hard-hitting ultimatum to his younger brother, Prince Andrew.
The Duke of York now faces the daunting choice of either vacating his lavish residence or facing complete disownment from the royal family.
After enduring Andrew’s controversial lifestyle for years, the King’s patience has finally reached its limit.
The stakes are sky-high for Prince Andrew, who has been living in the opulent Royal Lodge for nearly two decades.
The King is now demanding that Andrew either take on the hefty financial burden of the property, valued at around £30 million, or downsize to the more modest Frogmore Cottage.
This ultimatum comes as a shock, especially considering the Duke’s recent fall from grace.
Royal insiders reveal that Charles has laid out two clear options for his brother.
He must either shoulder the £4 million annual costs associated with maintaining the Royal Lodge or move to Frogmore, which is far less extravagant.
The message is crystal clear: the King will no longer bear the costs of Andrew’s lavish lifestyle.
As the clock ticks, Andrew finds himself in a precarious situation.
If he fails to comply with the King’s demands, he risks being completely cut off from the royal family and evicted from the estate he has called home for so long.
It’s a high-stakes game that could lead to his permanent removal from royal life.
According to a palace source, the ongoing standoff between the brothers has become known as “the Andrew problem.” This insider noted that the Duke seems to be struggling to grasp the reality of his situation, despite the obvious need for change.
With King Charles unwilling to continue financing Andrew’s lifestyle, the pressure is mounting.
Adding to the tension is the impending release of a documentary that revisits Andrew’s infamous 2019 Newsnight interview.
This interview played a pivotal role in his downfall, and as the public’s memory of his connections to the late Jeffrey Epstein is reignited, the urgency for Andrew to act becomes even more pressing.
For Prince Andrew, the time for stubbornness has come to an end.
