“Andrew cuts an increasingly tragic figure”
The standoff between King Charles and Prince Andrew over the latter finally being forced to leave his beloved Royal Lodge home is becoming increasingly bitter, with insiders dubbing it “the siege of Royal Lodge.”
As The Daily Beast previously reported, multiple sources told the Times of London that Charles has threatened to cut funding to his disgraced brother if Andrew doesn’t vacate his home soon. A friend of Charles told the paper, “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 realize that he has become a prisoner of his own pride—and that handing back the keys will afford him far greater comfort, and the continued support of his family.”
