Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, has come under fire for refusing to vacate the Royal Lodge, despite his brother King Charles’s request to downsize to Frogmore Cottage.

The dispute began when King Charles asked Prince Andrew to relocate from the lavish Royal Lodge to Frogmore Cottage, a move aimed at streamlining the monarchy. However, Andrew’s reluctance to relinquish his current residence has reignited tensions between the brothers.

According to royal expert Jennie Bond, Prince Andrew’s stubbornness is not only humiliating but also detrimental to his relationship with King Charles. “Moving to Frogmore Cottage would provide Andrew with an opportunity to mend relations with his brother,” Bond suggests.
