Prince Andrew has been lobbying King Charles for a regal estate amid negotiations to vacate his Royal Lodge mansion.
The disgraced Duke of York is refusing to give up his palatial 30-bedroom Windsor home after the King told him of planned budget cuts to the royal finances.
According to the Daily Mirror, Andrew, 63, has even pleaded to be given the chance to run some of the most prestigious estates in the Royal Family’s portfolio, such as the late Queen’s beloved Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire.
