King Charles ‘running out of time’ for important decision about Prince Andrew
King Charles is under mounting pressure to not delay an important decision any longer as Palace receives fresh warning.
Prince William has been leading a movement to remove all privileges from his disgraced uncle Prince Andrew. Following his royal titles and honours, now the lavish Windsor property, Royal Lodge, is the last remaining symbol of his regal life. Advertisement
Now, King Charles has been issued a deadline by MPs to remove the former Duke of York and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson from the property. The latest audit report had revealed that that Andrew had not paid rent on the property for the past two decades.
Former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth, Dickie Arbiter, insisted that the matter “has to be resolved as soon as possible.”
He urged the King needs to sort Andrew’s matter “before the end of the year” as it has been going on long enough”.
Parliament’s spending watchdog, the Public Accounts Committee, has written to the Treasury and Crown Estate asking it to explain Andrew’s 75-year lease by November 28, leaving mere four weeks for the royals to take a decision.
The chairman of the committee Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown posed the question if the taxpayers’ money was used on the Lodge and if it was the “most appropriate use or best value for money”.
Meanwhile, The Sun shared that Buckingham Palace has refused to comment on the matter. |
