Prince Andrew’s Secret Could Finally Topple the Throne—What’s He Hiding From William and Kate.HL

Prince William and Kate Lead Push to Remove Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson from Royal Lodge Amid Growing Public Outrage

The rift within the royal family has deepened as the Prince and Princess of Wales reportedly push to evict Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson from Royal Lodge, their lavish 30-room Windsor residence. According to royal biographer Tina Brown, William and Kate “can’t abide” the Duke of York and believe his continued presence near their new “forever home,” Forest Lodge, threatens the family’s public image.

Public anger has intensified following revelations that Andrew, 65, has not paid rent on the property for 22 years, despite the residence’s estimated annual cost of £260,000. Under his 75-year lease agreement, Andrew paid £1 million in 2003 and invested £7.5 million in refurbishments, entitling him to live rent-free for decades. Critics, however, argue that his lifestyle remains subsidized by taxpayers.

Adding to the controversy, Scotland Yard has confirmed an active investigation into claims Andrew asked a police officer to dig up information about Virginia Giuffre, who has long accused him of sexual misconduct—allegations he denies. This makes him the first senior royal to face such scrutiny in more than 20 years.

Political figures have joined the outcry. Former minister Robert Jenrick condemned the arrangement, calling it “disgusting” that the public continues to fund Andrew’s luxury while many Britons struggle with living costs. “He should take himself off to live in private and stop embarrassing the monarchy,” Jenrick said.

Sources reveal that King Charles III has quietly urged his younger brother to downsize or relocate, even offering to reinstate a modest personal allowance and security funding if Andrew agreed to move—possibly to Frogmore Cottage, previously occupied by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Andrew, however, has refused to leave, citing his iron-clad lease.

Tina Brown described the King’s dilemma vividly: “How do you disappear a 6-foot-tall, 190-pound, 65-year-old man with a lifetime lease and no shame?” She also suggested William could exclude Andrew from Charles’s eventual funeral, as tensions mount over the disgraced duke’s continued public presence.

Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson has adjusted her social media profiles, removing her duchess title amid speculation she may also face royal distancing. Their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have reportedly canceled recent public appearances as the scandal engulfs the family.

The revelations about Andrew’s finances and the possible criminal probe have rekindled long-standing anger over his association with Jeffrey Epstein and renewed calls to strip him of remaining titles through an Act of Parliament.

Behind palace doors, the pressure is mounting. As the Waleses prepare to settle into their new Windsor home, royal insiders say their goal is clear — to restore the monarchy’s reputation and “disappear” the Duke of York once and for all.

The question now remains: Can King Charles and Prince William truly exile Andrew — or will the royal black sheep continue haunting Windsor’s gilded gates for years to come?
