Prince Andrew ‘never says anything negative’ about King Charles despite ongoing feud

Prince Andrew “never says anything negative” about King Charles, according to an insider, despite the brothers’ ongoing feud.

The monarch and the Duke of York are currently locked in crunch talks over Andrew’s home, Royal Lodge, where he has lived since 2003.

Prince Andrew, 64, has a 75-year lease on the Crown Estate property, formerly the home of the late Queen Mother.

He lives there with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, and is understood to want to leave the property as an inheritance for his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

They continued to tell The Sun: “It’s just not something he would do.”

A source previously told The Times that the monarch plans to privately rent out Royal Lodge for an estimated sum of £1million a year.

The property is thought to be in dire need of repairs Andrew has failed to carry out.

“It is now two years into the King’s reign, and he wants the matter settled,” an insider stressed to the publication.

It can be done tidily or untidily. It can be done with grace and dignity or it can be forced upon him. It’s all rather sad.

“But as things stand, life at Royal Lodge is set to become increasingly cold and uncomfortable for the duke.

“The only question now is when he will realise that he has become a prisoner of his own pride.”
