Daily Mail  

Little by little Prince Andrew is being prised out of Royal Lodge, his palatial Windsor home. That the King is no longer prepared to meet the cost of providing security at Royal Lodge is surely a sign that his brother's grip on the mansion is loosening His outings are few these days and tend to involve trips to the Windsor Castle mews, where grooms regularly saddle a horse for him to ride out in the park – sometimes Prince Edward loyally joins him – and to the private golf course in the castle grounds he helped lay out. His ex-wife Fergie still lives with him in Windsor in an amicable post-divorce arrangement 'Unfortunately, if Andrew refuses to leave within a reasonable time frame, then the King may be forced to reassess the whole package of support he provides and the duke would be required to fund the lion's share of his security, accommodation and lifestyle costs all on his own – which, given the sums involved, is highly unlikely to be possible in the long term.' For all the sensitivities around the status-conscious Andrew, one old friend drew a parallel with another troubled prince similarly shorn of his royal privileges, the duke's nephew Harry.
