Prince Andrew does not find Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s former residence, the Frogmore Cottage, “grand enough” for a Prince to live.
The “disgraced” Duke of York has reportedly refused to move out of the Royal Lodge into the Frogmore Cottage despite King Charles’ calls.
As per GB News, Andrew would not leave the Royal Lodge even though it reported that he is paying his own cheaper security team after Charles cut off his $1.3 Million allowance.
Reports claim that the Duke has even agreed to cover the property’s maintenance costs out of his own pocket.
Revealing the reason why Andrew would not move to Frogmore Cottage, property buying agent Robin Edwards said that he does not think the cottage is “grand enough” for him.
“He (Andrew) has refused to leave his lavish mansion and move to the significantly smaller Frogmore Cottage, believing it to be not grand enough for him,” Edwards said.
“Even back in September 2002 that (maintenance work) was very conservatively estimated at at least £7.5 million excluding tax.”
“The costs are likely to have grown significantly since then with time and inflation.”
Royal author Robert Hardman revealed in his book Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story that Charles has financially cut off his “disgraced” brother.
"The duke is no longer a financial burden on the King," he penned.
