Prince Andrew Resists Push to Vacate Royal Lodge

A long lease complicates any eviction, prompting talk of parliamentary scrutiny.

Overview

  • Andrew is reported to be willing to leave only if he moves to Frogmore Cottage and Sarah Ferguson takes Adelaide Cottage.
  • He is said to hold a lease lasting until 2078 and to be seeking about £500,000 in compensation to depart early.
  • King Charles continues pressing for a move as William and Kate prepare to settle at nearby Forest Lodge, increasing urgency around the dispute.
  • His personal banner was removed from St George’s Chapel after he renounced use of his ducal titles and his Order of the Garter honour.
  • Liberal Democrat MPs are exploring a parliamentary debate on his position, while the Labour government signals the issue is not an immediate priority.
