King Charles Ends Prince Andrew's Private Security Funding
The Duke of York faces potential eviction from Royal Lodge amidst ongoing disputes over residence and security costs.
- King Charles III has decided not to renew the $4 million annual contract for Prince Andrew's private security.
- Prince Andrew, who lives at Royal Lodge with his ex-wife, may be forced to move to the smaller Frogmore Cottage.
- The decision follows Andrew's loss of police protection in 2022 and his controversial ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
- Royal Lodge, a 31-room home, has high maintenance costs, which Andrew reportedly struggles to afford.
- The king's health issues and desire to simplify royal finances have influenced the decision.
