Prince Andrew Seeks Mobile Security at Royal Lodge

Prince Andrew is facing challenges after King Charles decided to cut off private funding for his security team, prompting him to seek alternatives for protecting his residence at Royal Lodge. Following the decision, Andrew has opted for a mobile security team as a cost-effective solution, ensuring round-the-clock protection without taxpayer funding. The Duke has been reluctant to leave the 30-bedroom property, valued at around £30 million, despite offers to move to nearby Frogmore Cottage. The financial strain comes from a 75-year lease agreement that mandates costly upkeep and renovations. King Charles has reportedly spent £3 million annually on Andrew's security, which will not continue once the private team departs in October. With a constant police presence in the Windsor estate area, Andrew's security will rely on this informal support in case of emergencies.
