The battle for the grand, 30-room Royal Lodge has reached an astonishing, near-comical climax, pitting brother against brother in a conflict worthy of a dramatic royal television series.
On one side stands King Charles III, the monarch determined to streamline the working Monarchy and cut unnecessary costs; on the other, his younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew. One source suggested the former Duke of York is 'practically super-glueing himself to the antique furniture' to avoid eviction.
