Here's why Andrew must be kicked out of Royal Lodge - I'm sorry the Queen didn't sort him out

PRINCE Andrew needs to be kicked out of Royal Lodge and it's a shame the late Queen didn't sort out his situation before she died, a royal expert has claimed.
The disgraced Duke of York, 64, currently resides at the Windsor Great Park lodging in Berkshire, which boasts 30 rooms, a swimming pool and large grounds.
Andrew has been refusing to vacate the property despite reports suggesting that King Charles wants him to move to Frogmore Cottage.
Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, historian and biographer Hugo Vickers has now suggested Andrew "needs to live somewhere smaller".
During an exclusive conversation with The Sun’s Royal Editor, Matt Wilkinson, Hugo was asked what he thinks the King should do with Prince Andrew and Royal Lodge.

Fergie, with financial support of Andrew, bought a penthouse in Mayfair, London. They can move there, end of story.

Frogmore should become a conference centre for media interviews, podcasts and museum for all matters related to Earthshot, open to the public at least six months per year. Prince William and lovely family to move to a sumptuous apartment within Windsor Castle and Prince Edward, Sofie and family to have a second home by using Adelaide Cottage.

Yes, he has earned his own keep. He has worked, in the military and later as a working royal. However, if he has not kept the house as the lease stipulates then he must go. If the problems regarding the structures of the house are continuing, it will at the end be extremely difficult to fix and extremely expensive. He can leave without humiliation for example by explaining that his country home is frog more cottage and city home his wife's house in London.

1:20 The Queen BUILT him a house called Sunninghill Park, which was abandoned and eventually torn down. I don't understand why he was allowed to move into Royal Lodge in the first place. He had/has no need for such a massive residence.

[@aclem8246]

If he is no longer a working royal he should face the same circumstance as Harry. No free home, no income, and no security.

[@sugarplumk2381]

If he’s paid rent in advance, as did Harry, it’s not a free home. The lease was gifted but it’s not free. As for security, all royals are entitled to it. They are at risk by virtue of being royal.

I'm sorry the Queen was not well enough to sort out the Prince Andrew and Royal Lodge problems. it's not like Prince Andrew and Fergie are super- popular anymore, they have no need of so large a home. if Andrew doesn't like Frogmore Cottage, let him buy his own home.

[@Saranne1004]

The Queen did "do something before she died'......she approved a 75 year lease on Royal Lodge in his name, probably at his urging.

[@karenmariecraig5619]

I do believe Harry will come home but he will never be able to work as a Royal as the family can’t trust him ever again. The public would be furious if either one of them performed any rural duties again. Perhaps he can move in with Andrew. They will have each other to whinge about how unfair their lives are as neither one of them, IMO, has the sense to realize that they did it to themselves.

[@sonjadidyk-tn4cc]

perfect roomies eh

[@PLuMUK54]

It is an unpopular point of view, but I feel sorry for Andrew. He is not a self-made man but a product of his upbringing. As the favoured son, he was spoilt by his mother. Although fiction, the scene in The Crown where the Queen says that she had Andrew in order to make up for her failings with Charles is probably close to the truth. Andrew, it seems, was not taught the basic skills to become a decent human being, and we probably all know someone like him. Another problem was that he did not have the support and guidance of a strong wife. As close as they still are, Sarah was not the best person for Andrew. Instead of guiding him along a better path, she took full advantage of the dodgy path that he was already on. Unfortunately for him, Harry has followed the same path as Andrew, with one big difference. Andrew has been an embarrassment, but Harry has been vicious. His attacks on his family, especially the Queen, are unforgivable. Andrew has shown some sense in keeping his head down since that interview. Harry shows no sense at all, and if he did decide to return to the UK, I think he will struggle to regain his place within his family. People tend to forgive a teenager/twenty-something, but he is no longer that. The public will be unlikely to give Harry the benefit of the doubt if he returns. I am so glad that I am not part of that dysfunctional family - my own is bad enough, but at least it is of no interest to the media.

THIS fellow needs to learn his history. The Royal LOdge is the traditional home of the Duke of York, since before Queen Elizabeth was born (George VI was the Duke of York til he became King) After he died, the Queen Mum moved back to the Royal Lodge and lived there alone for decades (with staff, like Andrew and Fergie) and no one said a word. Charles is finding out the hard way that ""slimming the MOnarchy "" is turning into a disaster.....BEFORE the Queen died, there were over 100 charities waiting for a Royal patron. When the Queen passed, she left over 300 more. Bea should be called into service, as should the Tindalls, or there's going to be trouble...Wills can't do everything alone. Kent and Gloucester are well over / nearly 80 yrs old.
