Properties Prince Andrew may be moved to as King Charles pushes disgraced royal out

With mounting financial difficulties and growing pressure from King Charles, Prince Andrew, 64, may soon be facing eviction from his current residence at the Royal Lodge.

The Duke of York, who has struggled to cover the £400,000-a-year upkeep costs of the 30-bedroom mansion, could be forced to relocate as King Charles reportedly plans to withdraw the private funding that covers the estate’s £3 million annual security costs.

Ronn Torossian, founder and chairman of 5WPR, weighed in on the potential options for Prince Andrew's relocation.

"The Duke of York’s potential relocation would likely depend on several decisions made by his brother and the Crown Estate, now that his private security has been terminated," Torossian told Express.co.uk.

One of the possibilities includes Frogmore Cottage, which is no longer occupied by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. However, Prince Andrew has "adamantly turned down this offer in the past".

"A seemingly more appropriate place would likely be Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate, given its isolation and would definitely help keep Andrew away from the public eye," Torossian explained.

This secluded property could offer the privacy that Prince Andrew might seek following his retreat from public life and ongoing controversies.

The potential eviction has also sparked speculation about the future use of Royal Lodge. Some sources suggest that King Charles may view the property as a future home for Queen Camilla if she outlives him.

Additionally, the Crown Estate has reportedly expressed that it would be fitting for the property to remain under royal occupancy, further complicating Prince Andrew's situation.

As Prince Andrew faces the possibility of losing his long-time home, his financial situation continues to be a significant concern. Despite reportedly being worth £5 million, Torossian noted that it is "not likely that he will be renting or buying a high-end private building or home anywhere in London".

Torossian also highlighted the Duke's increasingly limited social circle, which has diminished considerably in the wake of the Epstein scandal.

"Andrew remains estranged from many former high-profile friends and his public support network has diminished considerably," he said, adding that in 2024, "no one is likely going out of their way to publicly help Prince Andrew given the continued revelations of his deep relationships with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein."
