Prince Andrew’s new eviction shame as King Charles plans to rent out Royal Lodge

King Charles has grand plans for Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge home when he is finally booted out, it has been claimed.

King Charles wants to rent out Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge home for $A2 million a year when the disgraced younger brother is finally evicted.

The monarch is keen to generate commercial revenue from the mansion when he ousts the Duke of York who is refusing to budge, The Sun reports.

Prince Andrew has rejected other homes offered and is relying on his “cast-iron lease” but sources believe he will be forced out.

He lives on the estate, which is said to be dilapidated and in dire need of repairs, with former wife Sarah Ferguson.

An insider told The Sun: “It makes sense for Royal Lodge to be handed back to Crown Estates, which can pay for the much-needed repairs and renovations.

“It could then be rented to earn money for them, the King’s coffers and the country rather than being a drain on everyone’s resources.”

Royal Lodge, pictured in its glory days, is now in disrepair.

Nestled in the Windsor Great Park, Royal Lodge boasts 30 rooms, a swimming pool and large grounds.

However, while the home looks impressive on teh surface , it is said to be in need of extensive repairs.

The shamed Duke is believed to have poured $A14.1 million of his own money into the massive upkeep of the estate, but sources say he cannot continue to meet the bill.

Prince Andrew lost his public funding when he was forced to quit life as a working royal over his links with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and sex abuse allegations.

It was previously revealed by The Sun that Prince Andrew had rejected the chance to move into Frogmore Cottage after royal outcasts Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were served with eviction.

A friend told The Times: “It can be done tidily or untidily. It can be done with grace and dignity or it can be forced upon him. It’s all rather sad.

“But as things stand, life at Royal Lodge is set to become increasingly cold and uncomfortable for the Duke.

“The only question now is when he will realise that he has become a prisoner of his own pride - and that handing back the keys will afford him far greater comfort, and the continued support of his family.”
