Prince Andrew's Royal Lodge Declines Amid Cost-Cutting Efforts

Prince Andrew is reportedly struggling to maintain his lavish Royal Lodge estate in Windsor, which is described as being in a 'shocking state' by a gardener from Historic Royal Palaces. The Duke of York, who has lived in the 30-room mansion since 2004 with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, is attempting to take care of the 21 acres of garden himself due to financial strain after King Charles cut his annual allowance. Insiders reveal that the estate shows visible signs of deterioration, with the absence of flowers and the presence of cracks and mould on the exterior. Andrew's efforts to maintain the grounds are deemed inadequate, as the property has become overrun with shrubbery and woodland. Furthermore, concerns over maintenance and security have led to the removal of valuable artifacts from the estate, leaving empty shelves in their place. Despite the challenges, Andrew continues to live at Royal Lodge, having recently secured undisclosed funding to cover his living expenses.
