King Charles could soon increase pressure on his brother, Prince Andrew, to leave the Royal Lodge, amid fallout from his involvement in the Chinese spy scandal and other controversies that have cast a shadow over the royal family.

Reports indicate that Prince Andrew will skip the annual Royal Christmas celebration at Sandringham this year and opt to spend the holiday at the 30-bedroom Royal Lodge in the company of his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, and their daughters, Princess Beatrice and the princess Eugenia.

Royal commentator Sarah Louise Robertson suggested this could be Prince Andrew’s last Christmas at the Royal Lodge due to “increasing pressure” on him to leave the property. “Given obviously what has unfolded over the last week, the greater shame that Andrew has heaped on the King and the Royal Family, they decided they needed to keep a low profile,” Robertson said, referring to the recent scandal surrounding Andrew.

Robertson went on to talk about Andrew’s absence from the royal walk and his decision to give up staying at Wood Cottage this year. “We won’t be seeing Andrew on the royal walk and he won’t be staying at Wood Cottage this Christmas like he did last year.” he explained to GB News. “He will stay at Royal Lodge with Sarah Ferguson, and his two daughters will spend Christmas with their in-laws.”

Looking ahead, Robertson speculated that the royal family could put more pressure on Andrew to move out of the Royal Lodge next year. “I think next year we will see more pressure on Andrew to move out of the Royal Lodge and into a smaller property on the Windsor estate,” he predicted.

However, Robertson clarified that Andrew would not be left homeless or in a desperate situation. “It’s not like he’s going to be left out in the cold, homeless, so to speak. And like other people, they will not throw him out on the street.” he added.

As Prince Andrew faces continued scrutiny, particularly over his connections to the Chinese spy scandal, it appears King Charles may be taking steps to distance the royal family from his controversies and restore the monarchy’s image.
