Prince Andrew may be required to vacate his Windsor home, Royal Lodge, by October as King Charles reportedly plans to disband his private security team.

Since the removal of Andrew's armed police protection in 2022, King Charles has been financing a ten-man security team.

A Palace insider revealed that the King intends for Andrew to leave the property, with the removal of security being a significant step toward that goal.

Despite facing pressure from King Charles to vacate Royal Lodge, Andrew has resisted leaving the property where he has lived for over 20 years.

Andrew has held a 75-year lease on Royal Lodge since 2003 and currently resides there with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

Reports indicate that Andrew would need to cover his own security costs if he wishes to remain at Royal Lodge.

Financially, Andrew's situation is precarious, as he struggles to afford the £400,000 annual upkeep of Royal Lodge, which requires significant repairs.

The King’s desire for Andrew to vacate Royal Lodge is complicated by the legalities surrounding his 75-year lease.

King Charles has attempted to persuade Andrew to relocate to Frogmore Cottage, previously occupied by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Despite the ongoing situation, Prince Andrew is expected to join the Royal Family at Balmoral this summer, along with Sarah Ferguson and their daughters.

Allegations of sexual assault against Virginia Giuffre have resurfaced, which Andrew denies, claiming he never met her and previously settled a civil case with her out of court.

The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that no new investigation into Prince Andrew has been initiated.
