Prince Andrew<\/a> is set to be all smiles this week as it is believed he has won the Royal Lodge row<\/a>. For years, the Duke of York, 65, has called the \u00a330 million royal mansion in Windsor his home<\/a>, and has not shown any signs of wanting to relocate.<\/p>\n

This is despite the fact his brother King Charles, 76, has reportedly tried his best to get his non-working royal sibling to move to a smaller premises elsewhere to free up the royal home. In a bid to get this to happen, the monarch even removed the security<\/a> he was privately funding for Royal Lodge, however his brother – who has not been a working royal since becoming involved in a number of shocking scandals<\/a> – has remained put.<\/p>\n

Now, it seems that Andrew has won the row with Charles, and will be staying put at the home he signed a 75-year lease for, agreed by the Crown Estate, in 2003.<\/p>\n

This was revealed by The Daily Mail<\/a>, with Andrew having reportedly shown a lease document that states he is legally entitled to stay there.<\/p>\n

It was rumoured last year that the King may have wanted Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson to leave Royal Lodge so that Prince William<\/a> and Princess Kate, along with their three children, could relocate there.<\/p>\n

This came after William and his family moved to Windsor in 2022 and set up home at the humble four-bed Adelaide Cottage<\/a> in Windsor.<\/p>\n

It is believed they relocated to the estate from their Kensington Palace home in London to give their children more privacy.<\/p>\n

While the family may not call Royal Lodge home if Andrew is set to stay put, it has been widely reported that they may still move to a larger abode on the Windsor estate.<\/p>\n

It is believed Fort Belvedere<\/a>, a Gothic Revival mansion in Windsor Great Park, could become their next home<\/a>. The property reportedly has a rose garden, a walled garden, a kitchen garden, a large greenhouse, an outdoor swimming pool and a tennis court.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that the impressive eight-bed home also has stables, two lakes, paddocks, and three cottages for staff.<\/p>\n

A source told the Mail:<\/a> \u201cThey feel they have outgrown Adelaide Cottage and need somewhere more substantial. This is the perfect new home for them. It has a swimming pool and tennis court, and Charlotte loves playing tennis.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Andrew is set to be all smiles this week as it is believed he has won the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7730,7731,1760,518,2205,110600,110599,70790,70786,110601,7710,519,7859],"class_list":{"0":"post-298467","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-charles","10":"tag-charles-iii","11":"tag-king-charles","12":"tag-king-charles-iii","13":"tag-prince-andrew","14":"tag-prince-andrew-king","15":"tag-prince-andrew-king-charles-iii","16":"tag-prince-andrew-royal-family","17":"tag-prince-andrew-royal-lodge","18":"tag-prince-andrew-windsor","19":"tag-royal-families","20":"tag-royal-family","21":"tag-windsor"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114930887121021315","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
