Prince Andrew spotted behind the wheel
Prince Andrew has been seen for the first time since King Charles reportedly threatened to sever all ties over the Royal Lodge controversy. The Duke of York was spotted driving his Range Rover from his Royal Lodge home in Windsor.
Pressure from King Charles
King Charles is putting pressure on Prince Andrew to move from the Royal Lodge home he shares with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. The Duke's residence is said to be deteriorating, and the King has warned that life could become uncomfortable if Andrew doesn't relocate.
Siege of Royal Lodge
King Charles is said to have increased efforts to evict Andrew from the mansion this year, with insiders calling the situation the 'siege of Royal Lodge.' The King may reconsider the support he provides if Andrew continues to refuse to move out.
Financial and family tensions
Prince Andrew, who will not return to public duty after settling an abuse case, rejected the chance to move into Frogmore Cottage last year. The Duke's lease on Royal Lodge doesn't expire until 2078, leading to tensions with King Charles over the future of the property.
Uncertain future
Despite financial troubles and the King's efforts to encourage a move, Prince Andrew remains firm in his decision to stay at Royal Lodge. His refusal to leave may strain relations with the royal family, as the situation continues to unfold.
