King Charles has pulled off a royal masterstroke, making it crystal clear that even princes aren’t above accountability
GB News Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker shed light on the “telling detail” behind Andrew’s move to Sandringham, explaining why the monarch’s step was more than symbolic. Advertisement
“One of the reasons for such drastic action is tied to Royal Lodge itself,” Walker told viewers, standing outside the sprawling ex-Prince’s former residence.
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, stripped of his Prince and Duke of York titles, has officially received a formal notice to vacate the 30-room estate he’s called home since 2003, when he lived there with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
Insider details reveal he’s been paying mere “peppercorn rent” on the mansion, a token sum that underscores the extraordinary privileges he’s long enjoyed.
Walker added, “The world’s media has descended on this gate of Royal Lodge.
The Palace was keen not to give a specific date for his removal, but the message is clear, privilege has its limits, and Andrew’s lease is now firmly under scrutiny.”
“To be fair to Andrew, he did pay £1 million upfront when he moved in, plus £7 million in renovations,” he explained.
“But effectively, he’s spent the last 20 to 25 years living there for free, indirectly at taxpayers’ expense.”
The “telling detail” behind Sandringham? Walker revealed, “It’s owned privately by the Mountbatten-Windsor family, so no public money is involved.
This is as far as King Charles can go to cut ties while keeping it entirely within the family’s finances.”
The King pondered the move for “a few weeks,” consulting constitutional and legal experts to craft a solution.
“He wanted to act, but needed to figure out how,” said Cameron, adding that a royal warrant will formalize the removal of Andrew’s dukedom and titles.
Cameron noted the gravity of the moment, “This is a fall from grace for Andrew.“ |
