Prince Andrew has been given a three-year warning regarding his living situation at Royal Lodge, reports have claimed. The Duke of York is reportedly in a “rumbling dispute” over renovations at the 30-room property in Windsor, thought to be worth £30million.

Andrew was said to have been struggling with the upkeep of the mansion which caused tensions with his brother, the King, however, earlier this year, it emerged that he managed to secure funds to support himself. He has been living in the 19th-century Grade-II listed building since 2003, when he was granted a 75-year lease agreement by the Crown Estate, which owns it. But now reports suggested Andrew may “get the boot” in 2028, as the Crown Estate is “losing patience” with the disgraced Duke.

The Daily Mail‘s Ephraim Hardcastle said that the royal has maintained the interior but there is “a rumbling dispute about who is responsible for extensive external repairs” of the building.

He added: “Andrew should be safe until 2028. He is entitled to a partial rebate on his outgoings if given the order of the boot at the end of his first 25 years of his lease.”

Back in November, Andrew made headlines after pictures emerged showing Royal Lodge’s exteriors in a bleak state, featuring mould and decay.

Andrew’s 75-year lease agreement highlighted that he is required to “repair, renew, uphold, clean and keep in repair and, where necessary, rebuild” the mansion.

It also specified that the walls of the mansion must be repainted every five years “with two coats of paint”, while inside the house, the duke is forced to “paint with at least two coats of paint and to paper, polish, decorate and otherwise appropriately treat” every seven years, starting from 2010.

Royal Lodge has more than 30 rooms, including seven bedrooms.

The mansion used to be the home to King George VI and the Queen Mother when they were still the Duke and Duchess of York, before Edward VIII’s abdication in 1936.

The Queen Mother continued to use the Windsor home until her death.

Andrew’s daughters, who the duke was said to be hoping to pass his home on to, do not live at the mansion.

Princess Beatrice lives with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, in The Cotswolds, while Princess Eugenie splits her time between Portugal and the UK with her husband, Jack Brooksbank.
