Prince William Threatens Action Against Prince Andrew’s Children As Tensions Over Royal Lodge Escalate

A deepening rift has emerged between Prince William and his uncle, Prince Andrew, centered on the ownership of Royal Lodge. Recent reports indicate that William purportedly issued a stern warning concerning Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

During a segment onThe News Agentspodcast, journalist Emily Maitlis shared an account alleging that William convened a meeting with the princesses. According to Maitlis, William conveyed a clear ultimatum: “You’ve got to get your dad to move out of Royal Lodge; otherwise, we will start reexamining the state of your own titles.” This suggests a deliberate effort to pressure Beatrice and Eugenie into emphasizing the seriousness of the matter to their father.

However, a subsequent report inThe Suncontradicted these claims, denying any such meeting occurred and furthermore stating that Prince William lacks the constitutional power to revoke the princesses' titles.

Prince Andrew, who has enjoyed rent-free residency at Royal Lodge for an extended period, is reportedly steadfast in his refusal to relocate. He is said to be demanding Frogmore Cottage, previously inhabited by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as an alternative. Concurrently, his former spouse, Sarah Ferguson, is reportedly eyeing Adelaide Cottage once Prince William and Kate Middleton depart.

Insiders within royal circles suggest that the King has desired Andrew’s departure from Royal Lodge for some time, particularly in light of the persistent controversy linked to Andrew’s association with the late Jeffrey Epstein. The situation's gravity has now intensified significantly, fueled by heightened media attention.
