King Charles ‘losing patience’ with Prince Andrew and has left him with ‘only two possible options’ over Windsor mansion

KING Charles is reportedly “losing patience” with Prince Andrew and has left him with “only two possible options” over his Windsor home.

Andrew, 64, still lives in the vast Royal Lodge in Windsor despite stepping down from official duties nearly five years ago.

His police security was removed after his fall from grace and Charles now funds both bodyguards and a living allowance for Andrew.

But Charles has “lost patience” with Andrew and wants him to leave Royal Lodge, The Times reports.

The King has reportedly given Andrew “only two possible options” for his future.

On the one hand, Andrew could find a way to pay his security and household bills without an allowance from Charles.

But Andrew has not had any income except his naval pension since he was disgraced over his ties with paedo tycoon Jeffrey Epstein.

Option two is for Andrew to move to “more suitable accommodation” like Harry and Meghan’s old home Frogmore Cottage.

Frogmore is located inside the Windsor estate security cordon and was refurbished by the Sussexes shortly before Megxit.

It’s understood Charles would be happy to support Andrew and his ex-wife Fergie at Frogmore, which currently lies empty.

A source told The Times: “It is now two years into the King’s reign and he wants the matter settled.”

Last month The Sun revealed that Charles had laid off Andrew’s ten-strong private security detail.

A palace insider told The Sun: “Everyone is speculating this means the Duke will have to leave the Royal Lodge.”

The source added: “What other reason could there be to take his security away?

“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. It isn’t a secret that the King wants him out.”

It comes after  it emerged Charles was turning up the heat on Andy in a stand-off dubbed the “siege of Royal Lodge” in May earlier this year.

The King is understood to have been warning his brother’s life will become “increasingly cold and uncomfortable”.

Earlier this year The Sun also exclusively revealed Andrew, who lives at the Lodge with ex-wife Sarah ­Ferguson, had rejected the chance to move to nearby Frogmore ­Cottage, former home of Harry and Meghan.

Friends of the Duke say his “cast iron” 75-year lease on the Lodge means he has no reason to give up his home he has lived in for the past 20 years.

Palace sources have always insisted Andrew “remains the King’s brother” and is welcome at family events but will never return to public duty.
