King Charles is reportedly threatening to cut off his brother, Prince Andrew , if he does not move out of Royal Lodge . A source close to the 75-year-old monarch has claimed the disgraced royal, who is currently living in the estate with his ex-wife Sarah ‘Fergie’ Ferguson , is testing his brother’s patience as he continues his refusal to relocate to Frogmore Cottage. The source told the Times , Charles has been trying to encourage his brother to move into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s old home, with reports he is even offering to pay for Andrew’s lifestyle, but has been met with refusal.
“Unfortunately, if Andrew refuses to leave within a reasonable time frame, then the King may be forced to reassess the whole package of support he provides,” the insider said. “And the duke would be required to fund the lion’s share of his security, accommodation and lifestyle costs all on his own – which, given the sums involved, is highly unlikely to be possible in the long term.” It comes amid news the disgraced Duke of York has started restoration work on the £30 million ($62m) estate, which is reportedly in a sad state with mildew and chipped paint after Andrew neglected to pay for its £500,000 ($1m) per year upkeep.
