Prince Andrew's Ongoing Feud With King Charles Over Royal Lodge Is the "Ugliest It Has Ever Been," Claims Royal Insider

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.

King Charles has been trying to convince Prince Andrew to move out of his longtime Windsor home, Royal Lodge, in the wake of Andrew's scandals involving Jeffrey Epstein. However, Prince Andrew—who is no longer using his Duke of York title—has a lease entitling him to stay put until 2078. With new information on the table and increased public pressure for the disgraced royal to leave Royal Lodge, The King has been put in the uncomfortable position of having to force his brother out—lease or no lease. But comments from both camps paint a completely different picture of the arrangements for Prince Andrew in what has become an ongoing war over the historic property.

On Monday, October 27, the Sun reported that Andrew had agreed to leave Royal Lodge if he could move into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's former home, Frogmore Cottage. It was also claimed that he demanded for his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, to have Prince William and Princess Kate's house, Adelaide Cottage, after they move out in November.
