Royal Author Says How Prince Andrew's "Daughters are Treated" Could Be the "Only" Thing That Pushes Him to Leave Royal Lodge

Prince Andrew has been living at his historic Windsor estate, Royal Lodge, since 2004, and per a lease obtained by The Times on October 21, he hasn't paid rent since then. Andrew, who lives at Royal Lodge with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, is also entitled to stay at the property until 2078, the lease revealed. Speaking to Hello! magazine's "Right Royal Podcast," historian Andrew Lownie weighed in on what it would take for Prince Andrew to leave his home—and the author thinks it comes down to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, told the podcast that Prince Andrew "has this ironclad lease, as long as he maintains the terms of that lease." These terms include Andrew carrying out necessary maintenance on the property, which Robin Edwards, a property buying agent at Curetons, previously told Marie Claire could cost the royal up to $6 million per year.
