Prince Andrew faces fresh nightmare as King Charles ‘axes security at Windsor home’
Prince Andrew is facing a fresh nightmare as he may have become under new pressure to leave his Royal Lodge home after King Charles has reportedly decided to axe his security team at the Windsor residence.
Prince Andrew has lived at Royal Lodge, his 31-room property in 98 acres of grounds on the Windsor estate, for more than 20 years after signing a 75-year lease.
However, he may soon be forced to leave the house as it has been claimed King Charles has told the security detail they are no longer needed at the lodge once their contract ends in the autumn.
A Palace insider weighed in on the issue saying that “it isn’t a secret that the King wants him out” after reports that the Duke of York has become a “bit of a recluse”.
The insider told The Sun: “Everyone is speculating this means the Duke will have to leave the Royal Lodge because what other reason could there be to take his security away?
They are all working the final weeks of their contract till the end of October. It’s not thought anyone is being lined up to replace them.”
This news comes after it was revealed that Prince Andrew is set to join the rest of the Royal Family at Balmoral this summer.
According to an Express.co.uk source, the younger brother of King Charles will be joined by his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, their children Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and grandchildren on the Scottish estate next week.
