Where are all the royal residences in the UK?

The King’s brother has reportedly not paid any rent on the seven-bedroom mansion since he moved in more than 20 years ago but is said to have a “cast iron grip” over the lease.

Now stripped of his Duke of York title in all working capacities, the 65-year-old has not been a working royal since allegations surfaced in 2019 of his involvement with his former friend, the financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

This week, Andrew was accused in Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous book of having sex with her three times while she was still a teenager - once within an orgy - and doing so knowing she was not much older than his daughters Beatrice and Eugenie.

The prince said in an official statement: “With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

Despite his denial, Andrew was told by Conservative MP Robert Jenrick that his behaviour is "embarrassing", and that it is “about time” he “took himself off to live in private”.

The prince could move into the nearby, smaller Frogmore Cottage, which was vacated in recent memory by Prince Harry.

Andrew is now said to live a simple life, mostly spent watching TV and going horse riding.

Having paid £1 million upfront for the Royal Lodge, and then agreeing to spend £7.5 million on renovations, Andrew faces no break clause and cannot be kicked out.
