Prince Andrew ‘wins’ fight to stay in Royal Lodge after years of eviction attempts from King Charles: report

Prince Andrew can finally breathe a long-awaited sigh of relief.

After years of digging his heels in and refusing to leave his sprawling royal residence, the disgraced Duke of York is now celebrating “having won the Royal Lodge row,” the Express reports.

According to the outlet, Andrew has been “all smiles” since finding out that his brother, King Charles, has given up trying to evict him — a stark contrast to his downcast outings earlier this year.

“Charles tried his best to get his non-working royal sibling to move to a smaller premises elsewhere to free up the royal home,” the outlet notes.

As for how Andrew, 65, managed to emerge victorious in the fight over the royal digs, the duke presented Charles with “a lease document that states he is legally entitled to stay there,” the outlet adds.

The feuding brothers have been locked in a bitter, years-long spat over the property, located on the grounds of Windsor Castle, since 2019.

The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.

Andrew was poised to leave the Royal Lodge after Charles refused to continue financially carrying his brother’s weight.

However, it sensationally emerged in November that the shunned royal had found a mystery financial backer at the eleventh hour — allowing him to remain at the royal digs.

As a result, Charles responded by removing priceless items from the plush property over maintenance and security concerns.

Andrew has been living off a hefty allowance from the king’s personal wealth for more than six years — ever since he was linked to disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

His weighty list of expenses includes $4 million worth of personal security per year, as well as a regular cash allowance — both of which Charles stopped providing in October 2024.

As a result, Andrew was ordered out of the 31-room property into the smaller Frogmore Cottage — but he refused.

The latter property has been sitting empty since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle handed over the keys in 2023.

It was previously reported that Charles had tried his all to downsize his scandal-scarred brother so that the Royal Lodge would free up for the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as their three children.

However, the future king and queen later decided that the property didn’t quite offer what they were looking for, much to Andrew’s relief, as it meant there were no rivals for the home.

Prince William and Kate Middleton, for their part, have recently kickstarted their search for their next family abode — meaning they are finally ready to bid adieu to Adelaide Cottage.

Andrew has resided at the lavish home since 2004. He currently lives there with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

Since finding an anonymous financial backer late last year, Andrew has faced recurring calls from the UK government to reveal the source of his mystery funding.

Exactly where the duke found the cash that enabled him to remain at the property is still unclear, as his only known steady income source is a Royal Navy pension.
