Prince Andrew: Abbeying Royal Lodge ensures outrage and scandal!

Royal Lodge, Windsor, Großbritannien - Prince Andrew, the brother of King Charles III, again makes headlines, and for several reasons. According to reports from the "Daily Mail", the 64-year-old is suspected of having founded a company under false name in order to disguise himself as "Andrew Inverneness"-a reference to his lost title as Earl of Internness. This revelation is considered a serious misconduct, and Graham Smith, the managing director of the anti-monarchy group Republic, has already filed a complaint with Scotland Yard. He described the situation as "anything but trivial" and emphasized that Great Britain, with fraud of this kind, has significant problems. The Metropolitan Police has now accepted the incident for review and left open whether legal steps are taken against the prince.

financial problems and neglected property

But not only legal difficulties cause Prince Andrew headache. His property, the Royal Lodge, which can be estimated in the price of around 36 million euros, is now severely neglected. Photos of the British newspaper "The Sun" show cracks in the outer walls and moldy facades. The Royal Lodge, which Prince Andrew inhabits together with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, seems to be in a desolate condition for a long time, which raises questions about his financial situation. King Charles recently deleted his annual grant in the amount of one million pounds, which heats the speculation about possible financial difficulties.

Prince Andrew has been criticized since the removal of his royal offices in May 2020 due to the sex scandal around Jeffrey Epstein. Despite his lease agreement for the Royal Lodge, which obliges him to pay for maintenance, necessary repairs seem to have been missed in recent years. Andrew obviously wants to stay in the Royal Lodge, but has so far rejected the option of moving into the smaller and cheaper Frogmore Cottage. Memories of its glamorous lifestyle seem to take a back seat through the current situation, while his royal life remains unmistakable in the headlines.
