King Charles has fired the security team stationed at Prince Andrew’s mansion.
According to the Sun, Charles informed the ten-man detail that their contracts at the 31-room Royal Lodge residence would not be renewed in October.
“They are all working the final weeks of their contract till the end of October. It’s not thought anyone is being lined up to replace them,” a palace insider told the outlet. “Everyone is speculating this means the Duke will have to leave the Royal Lodge because what other reason could there be to take his security away?”
Andrews, 64, has lived at the $38 million Royal Lodge, located on the grounds of Windsor Castle, since 2004 after he signed a 75-year lease agreement the previous year.
Following the disclosure of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein in 2019, Andrew has been threatened with eviction from the royal residence.
Additionally, Us Weekly revealed in May that he has been skipping out on $503,000 in yearly maintenance payments for the property.
Charles had been paying for private security at Andrew’s residence ever since his $3.8 million Met Police protection was taken away when he was stripped of his royal roles by his late mother Queen Elizabeth II.
To keep his younger brother afloat, the King has been giving him $5.1 million annually.
“It isn’t a secret that the King wants him out,” the insider told the Sun.
In January 2022, while Andrew was in the midst of his sex abuse case in the United States, the Queen had brought her third child to Windsor Castle.
The security layoffs come after the news that Andrew has allegedly refused to move from the larger Royal Lodge to the smaller Frogmore Cottage—the house that his nephew Prince Harry was forced to leave in June 2023.
I don’t blame King Charles and it must not be ‘rumor’.
I doubt it.
In any case, no matter who initiated the contact, why was it allowed to continue, hmmmm?
And it wasn’t just the UK.
Every LE and intel agency on the planet gave that guy a pass for almost two decades
Meanwhile, on Harry’s little visa problem, an update...
Right? Time to move Andrew into a 2-room flat over a garage of some servants’ quarters, IMO. He doesn’t seem to be contributing anything of value to anything.
All true; of course it did not help matters that he chose to marry a grifter who did little to hide her contempt for the family and their traditions.
Frogmore is beautiful. It was built by Victoria and Albert as a summer retreat.

No one does palace intrigue as well as the English. It does seem that Richard III was the most likely suspect in the disappearance/deaths? of the two princes, but who knows...
Soon is the winter of their discontent made miserable summer for this Sun of York.
like most everything else, shut off the money supply, and it goes away...

In Andrew's defense, it has to be tough to subsist on a measly $4.6 million a year. /rimshot
Epstein compromised their leadership as well?
Charles and Diane should have a child called Upton. You could call them “Up, Chuck, and Di”.
How on earth did he make the "Lewis and Clark Expedition" dull? That thing was high adventure. Even had actual monsters. Hey, how else would you describe an angry grizzly?
History is a very long story full of mystery, adventure, comedy, tragedy, heroes and villains. That schools have made it dull is, in my opinion, a crime against humanity.
Why...?
Be sure to really the comments, especially the one from someone called Well Bowled Harold. And not that Andrew Lownie, the author, has a reply for him.
Next, from 2019 and on Pitch at the Palace China and Andrew...
Prince Andrew’s Pitch@Palace was bad news for businesses
Why in God's name would a spy litigate?
Why is this coming out now?
More here, FWIW, on X on someone who might be the alleged spy...

If any/all of this is true, makes you wonder why it’s coming out now...
Frogmore is the final resting place, I believe, for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (“David” and Wallis Simpson)
