Prince Andrew Stays in Royal Lodge Despite Funding Cuts

An investigation reveals King Charles and Prince William's royal estates, the Duchy of Lancaster and Duchy of Cornwall, have profited significantly from charging fees to charities and public services, raising concerns over their financial practices. The Duchy of Cornwall, valued over $1 billion, has received substantial payments from various entities, including $28.5 million from a London property and $1.3 million from the British Navy. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew remains defiant in staying at the dilapidated Royal Lodge despite King Charles cutting off his £1 million annual allowance and security funding. Experts criticize Andrew's refusal to downsize, highlighting the mansion's disrepair and his lack of royal duties, suggesting he is dishonoring royal legacy. Reports indicate that Andrew's financial situation is dire, with a significant repair bill for the property and limited income from his naval pension. Calls are mounting for King Charles to formally evict Andrew to restore the monarchy's reputation.
