Prince Andrew reportedly demands 'royal estate' and role in Royal family

The disgraced Prince Andrew is has been lobbying his brother King Charles for a royal estate after being told to vacate his Royal Lodge mansion.

The Mirror reported that the disgraced Duke of York is refusing to leave the palatial 30-bedroom Windsor home after he was told to leave because of planned budget cuts to the royal finances. The 63-year-old Andrew has even offered to run some of the most prestigious estates in the Royal Family’s portfolio which is understood to include the late Queen’s beloved Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire.

Sources have told the Mirror how the Duke pleaded with the King for a “top role”, believing the responsibility and prestige with running the properties would offer him a way back into the fold.
