Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, have agreed to move out of their residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park. However, this is only when they are given two separate homes. Andrew has reportedly demanded to have Harry and Meghan’s former home, Frogmore Cottage.
Meanwhile, Ferguson may move to Adelaide Cottage after the Prince and Princess of Wales vacate it. However, a royal expert says that meeting these demands would be a grave “mistake” for King Charles.
King Charles should ‘outright reject’ Prince Andrew’s ‘audacious’ demand, says expert
Andrew and Sarah got married in 1986, and despite being separated, Ferguson has been living at the royal mansion since 2008. Reports suggest that they haven’t been paying rent for the past 20 years and were pressured by King Charles to leave the residence. They have reportedly agreed to vacate the residence, as they are provided two separate mansions.
Amid all this, Jennie Bond, the royal expert, said that the “Palace should outright reject” such a demand. She told the Mirror, “I think it would be a serious mistake if the King and the Palace agreed to such a brazen demand.”
She further added, “It is an audacious demand —and one that the Palace should outright reject. Andrew and Sarah are grown-ups with their own money and resources. They should be made to fend for themselves and not rely on the King and the goodwill of the Crown Estate.”
The news comes after people close to the duo reportedly mentioned that she totally deserves a royal home. In fact, Charles reportedly asked Andrew to live in Frogmore Cottage, the former house of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
However, the former Duke of York turned down the offer. To this, the royal expert said, “All of a sudden, Frogmore Cottage – which Andrew has been repeatedly rejecting- has apparently become desirable.” She added that Sarah, too, “wants her own place” and has “reportedly settled on William and Catherine’s soon-to-be-vacated home, Adelaide Cottage.”
