Agreed. I believe that is what King Charles is gradually putting into motion. I can understand giving Andrew and his family some time to adjust to their new reality. Royal Lodge has been their home for a long time and they will feel the loss deeply. But, they should go even if they have to be forced by loss of brotherly support.

It's all about his vanity. He doesn't want his friends and even his staff/servants to see him in a smaller place. He loves swanning around his large estate, which he feels is his due as a royal prince. He's embarrassed for everyone to see him downgrade his accommodations. Plus he's looking at the family as well. Princess Anne and Prince Edward both live on large estates so Andrew is stubbornly insisting that he receive the same. He's very embarrassed by the notion of family seeing him in a smaller home as well. It's all about his vanity and pride.

Neither does one woman. One of the theories going around is that Charles wants Royal Lodge for Camilla, so that she is ‘set’ after his death, which given his recent medical struggles, is probably on his mind.

[@margaretcastell9429]

Gold digger Cammi. Not much difference between Markle and her. She played the long game. I saw here William has had Cammi's sister Annabel ( not a pretty sight) evicted from some gorgeous old place after living there rent free for years. I never knew about that one. Camilla furious. William was said to evict Andy too and as he's let the building become dilapidated, against rental rules, have that building for himself and family. Makes sense to me. Frogmore for lazy Andy and Sarah. I'd be thrilled to live there and have my horse. Heads will roll and they are already. Definite coolness between the CONSORT and husband. Oh for Diana, whom I'm hoping will have her loving son reinstate the HRH. Get rid of the saddle faced sisters and don't allow her family any royal titles. I think William is going to be the toughest king for years and right for these times. Dethrone the Markles too, vile couple. Hopefully Coutts still has birthday boys birthday inheritance before Camillas American twin can spend it. She could go through millions in a week, no problem. The millions Charles has spent on his Consort. Should be against the law, millions from Cornwall, my childhood and many more year's home. Beautiful but poor, but too much goes to the P of Wales up to now, I hope. Our fisherman's cottages sold to rich townies and making it impossible for locals to own a cottage that could be bought for 200 pounds in the 50s. Some changes are needed for many.

Why is Andrew treated better than Harry?

[@Ira88881]

Because Andrew is his blood brother, and Harry is the butler’s son.

[@stefashaler8340]

Andrew isn't treated better than Harry. Harry's house was empty and unused. Cancelling his lease didn't affect him in any important way. Harry's life has improved. He's living independently as he wanted and he's prospering. Harry doesn't need help. Andrew's life has fallen apart totally. King Charles is giving Andrew temporary support to adjust to being broke and to losing his long term home where he actually lives, as any relative would do for a floundering loved one. The King has given Andrew a deadline for when his subsidy will end. That is the kind and fair way to address the tragic downfall of a brother, in my opinion.

I don't know any family that doesn't have some squabbling from time to time. Add the fact that Royal gossip is an industry in the UK and it looks as if there are no extraordinary problems in the Royal Family. Their every imagined conflict is blown up for headlines and clickbait.

@@valeriemahabir7997 I have no idea whether or not Andrew and his daughters get along with King Charles and Queen Camilla or Prince William and Princess Catherine. One would have to be a close friend of the family to get that information. Queen consort is always called Queen, as in Queen Mary and many others throughout history. Princess Anne is well aware of that I'm sure. It's something that's so well known it would be ridiculous if Princess Anne didn't know it. I don't know why the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh do their jobs. By the look of them in videos, it seems they're doing a good job.

This family reaped their status & wealth from murders, wars, theft, slavery and the historical abject subjugation of its people. It’s time they be relegated to a position to history themselves. Possibly a professorship teaching the public about the monarchy and all the backs they stood on and where they stand today. And a salary commensurate with all the other professors. And a prison sentence for Andrew as others have received for said crimes. You know, like regular citizens.

[@OAlem]

A professorship? They need to attend university before they can teach there. That rules out William and Harry. They're qualified to be groundskeepers, maybe. Their father was the 1st monarch to even BOTHER to get a university degree.

As for how they got their wealth, that is nowhere near the amount accumulated by private landholders, financiers and industrialists.

I was told that he was off putting and a bit rude behind the scenes, by person who was working as a server. The person was working in a place Prince Andrew was visiting. According to my freind, he was upset that the workers didn't recognise who he was, and they should have done something when he randomly came into a room in which my friend was busy working. I cannot remember what he was supposed to have said as it has been a long time since I moved out of London, and I didn't remember. Naturally, as people who both come from countries without royalty neither of us know what his royal princely prince wanted. On that occasion noblesse oblige seems to have been in short supply.

[@nicka3697]

I guess as a royal correspondent you don't want to be too blunt but there was a lot of frankly irksome "some might see as" and "comes across as" prevarication. Andrew is living in the lap of luxury there is no two ways about it. He is getting an awful lot for a man who has done very little of merit with his life. He did go to the Falklands, sat at the back behind a lot of protection but he did go. Maybe the front line soldiers who really risked their lives should be given castles.

And Diana cheated on Charles and on and on and so what? Morals are not based on a mistake. The totality of King Charles' life is a moral one. His devotion to Camilla is exemplary. His devotion to public service is exemplary. His sense of duty is exemplary. Nitpicking and condemnation of a fellow human without regard to their good acts are not especially moral either.
