Socialite Lady Victoria Hervey claimed last week that Charles could also try to cut Andrew’s annual scholarship out of jealousy.

Lady Victoria said on GB News on Friday: ‘I think Charles, as the older brother, has always been a little jealous of him (Prince Andrew). He had a very successful military career for 20 years.

“I heard he was always jealous of him. So as soon as the queen is gone, the daggers are out.’

Referring specifically to the Windsor lodge, Lady Victoria said, ‘They have time.

“But Charles has inherited how much money and yet he can’t help his brother?

“Prince Andrew had to settle (with Virginia Guiffre), he had no choice, and as soon as he was forced to, they took everything else away little by little.”

Speculation is mounting that Andrew may be kicked out of the Royal Lodge as part of Charles’ plan to cut royal costs. Brewing with a row, Andrew has indicated he will not leave without a fight – but he has been “selfish” by critics.

Incredibly, he has a more than 60-year lease on the 30-room property and is reportedly paying £250 a week for it, which former MP Norman Baker, an expert on royal finance, told MailOnline: ‘would don’t give you a cupboard in your house’. London’.

Mr Baker said: ‘It’s time Andrew started living within his means rather than expecting other people to subsidize his lavish lifestyle.

“If he can’t pay the commercial rent for the property with his own money, he’ll have to be evicted and moved to a much smaller place. The taxpayer subsidizes him.”
