King Charles Would Be Making a “Serious Mistake” If He Agrees to Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s “Brazen Demand,” a Royal Expert Says

LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 16: Prince Andrew, Duke of York and King Charles III attend the Funeral of the Duchess of Kent at Westminster Cathedral on September 16, 2025 in London, England. Katharine, Duchess of Kent was married to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, the first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. She died on September 4 at the age of 92 at Kensington Palace surrounded by her family. Having converted to Catholicism in 1994, her funeral takes place at Westminster Cathedral and is the first Catholic funeral to be held for a member of the royal family in modern British history.

As the fallout continues from Prince Andrew's latest round of scandal due to his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced royal is said to be in talks to vacate Royal Lodge, the 30-room mansion in Windsor he's called home since 2003.

Andrew's apparent decision to give up the residence in spite of his reported "cast-iron" lease doesn't seem to be without drama on its own. The former Duke of York is reportedly lobbying to trade Royal Lodge, which he has shared with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, for two smaller residences.
