The two issues are actually completely not related. He will probably stay at Windsor for many years to come - bless the Queen. Charles will look after him, William will look after him - they are not going to disown him. The housing really depends on the future plans for the estates - and that might be 50 years in the future. But that would have happened anyway even if he was still a working member of the family.
I am very worried about the Queen and some member of the family are really not in a good state. My prayers and concerns are with them at the moment.
Charles and William will not need to look after Andrew, he will be left a substantial inheritance by The Queen.
I don't remember the expiration date, but Andrew's lease on The Royal Lodge will outlive him, and his daughters, if alive, will be in their dotage.
Its not an admission that he's believed to be guilty in law... its a clear indication that his general conduct even if not illegal is so far from proper for a senior royal, that he has to give up any kind of public role.
Agree.
What are your opinions on Royal Lodge, do you think he will be asked/told to move to something less expensive to run. Also Royal Lodge was a family home of the Queen when younger also her mother's home in later life so close connections there.
I had read somewhere a few months ago that William wanted it and I thought no , he will not be permitted to tell Andrew to move on , now I am not so sure.
There are newspaper stories that William wants to move to Windsor.
Love to read your views.
William would be an idiot to form the thought of occupying the Royal Lodge, not just in his current capacity as Duke of Cambridge, but in his future roles as Prince of Wales / Duke of Cornwall and King. Part of me was going to caveat my statement by saying that Andrew could possibly sell the lease back to The Crown Estate if he is strapped for cash, but I don't think that is even likely, because once his mother passes away, he should be rich enough to keep that roof over his head even if he does not prevail in the current lawsuit IMO.
William wants it does he? Anmer and ginormous quarters at Kensington Palace are not quite enough for him?
I really don't believe this story at all.
I don't believe the part about William eyeing the Royal Lodge, but I do believe the part about the Cambridges possibly moving to Windsor.
As I stated in a previous post in another thread, the Cambridges do not
need a Windsor home, but neither does The Queen. The Queen has ginormous quarters at Buckingham Palace, along with ginormous houses and goo-gobs of land in Sandringham and Balmoral. Nevertheless The Queen spends most of her time at Windsor, which was likely happening even before the pandemic.
The reason why I see the Cambridges moving to Windsor, and I think that they will move into the castle, not one of the houses, is because once The Queen is gone, then the royals most associated with Windsor will be the Yorks and Sussexes. Charles does not seem to have any interest in Windsor. I think moving the Cambridges to Windsor is, among other things, is a form of succession planning.
