Rififi at the English court! Prince Andrew has little sympathy for his brother King Charles III’s suggestion that he be moved to Frogmore Cottage, the former home of Meghan and Harry, who moved to California.
Andrew and his wife, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, currently live in the 30-bedroom Royal Lodge, not far from the former Sussex residence, but Charles would like to find a new use for the property. This infuriates Prince Andrew. He therefore does not want to leave his house temporarily during the work, as he fears that he will never be able to return there.
He had inherited the home from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth, and paid $6.5 million for renovations. The work, especially on the roof, is planned and should take several months.
If initially it was a temporary move by Andrew during the works, King Charles III suggested. therefore intend to rent it out permanently. “But Andrew is hanging on as he’s still on a multi-year lease and has spent millions of his personal fortune renovating the home,” a source told the Chron.
