King Charles wants to 'kick Prince Andrew out' of Royal Lodge but can't due to one reason

King Charles wants to "kick Prince Andrew out of Royal Lodge," but is unable to due to one reason, it has been claimed. The royal has been dominating headlines since Friday when, after weeks of bombshell reports about his links to the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, he announceed that he would give up his royal titles, including his Dukedom of York and other honours.

According to Andrew, his decision was taken in discussion with the King, so his personal affairs do not distract from the work of the monarch and the Royal Family. But despite the bombshell move, the prince, who can still use this title as Queen Elizabeth II's son, still resides at Royal Lodge in Windsor and has no plans to move.

He has been living in the 19th-century Grade-II listed building since 2003, when he was granted a 75-year lease agreement by the Crown Estate, which owns it.

It is understood that Andrew's private tenancy agreement with the Crown Estate is unaffected by the latest bombshells.

However, according to The Sun, the King is "eager" to push his brother out of the 30-room property in Windsor, thought to be worth £30million.

Andrew was said to have been struggling with the upkeep of the mansion which caused tensions with his brother, however, earlier this year, it emerged that he managed to secure funds to support himself.

His 75-year lease agreement highlighted that he is required to "repair, renew, uphold, clean and keep in repair and, where necessary, rebuild" the mansion.

It also specified that the walls of the mansion must be repainted every five years "with two coats of paint", while inside the house, the duke is forced to "paint with at least two coats of paint and to paper, polish, decorate and otherwise appropriately treat" every seven years, starting from 2010.

Questions have been raised over how Andrew can still afford to pay for the upkeep mansion, given that the King axed his security last year.

Royal author Andrew Lownie called for more "transparency," regarding Andrew's agreement at Royal Lodge.

He told The Sun: "I understand that Prince Andrew did not inherit Royal Lodge but was allowed to make an arrangement with the Crown Estate.

"I think it is important for transparency that the full details of that arrangement are made public...

"...and why the property, which is in effect public property, was only offered to him."

He added that the former Duke would stay at Royal Lodge "as long as he can afford" as it is his "last status symbol" connecting him to the monarchy.
