A royal commentator is speaking out to say that Prince Andrew is “shoving two fingers up” at his brother King Charles by refusing to move out of Royal Lodge.
Andrew Gets Cut Off
Last week, it was revealed that Charles, 75, had finally cut off Andrew, 64, from any further money. This made it nearly impossible for Andrew to continue living at the $38 million Royal Lodge, which is located on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
Royal commentator Christopher Wilson has since claimed that Andrew is “dishonoring” the royal family by not moving to a smaller residence. He added that it is a “disgrace” that the home the Queen Mother, who died in 2002 at the age of 101, once called her “little paradise” is being left to rot.
“To see the Queen Mother’s much-loved house where she lived, she adored living there, in such a state of disrepair is a disgrace,” Wilson told The Sun. “It’s dishonoring her memory. It’s shoving up two fingers at King Charles.”
Andrew Is ‘Digging His Toes In’
Wilson went on to predict that Andrew will continue living at Royal Lodge just to annoy Charles.
“The state of his mind is reflected in the state of his home. It is falling all around him,” Wilson explained. “He doesn’t care anymore. He knows he’s never coming back and he’s just digging his toes in.”
Other experts are warning that Andrew “needs to get real” about his financial situation and “downsize” from his 30-room mansion.
“I think it’s right that Andrew should be turfed out of where he is. It’s far too large for him,” said the former Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker. “He’s not performing any sort of function for the Royal Family or for the country at large. He needs to get real and downsize.”
“I think the offer of Frogmore Cottage is actually a very generous one,” Baker continued. “He ought to be happy with that.”

Andrew’s Alleged Epstein Ties
Baker then claimed that it will be more difficult for Andrew to find a wealthy benefactor to bail him out than it has been in the past because he is now “persona non grata” thanks to his alleged ties to the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Virginia Giuffre, a former sex slave for Epstein, has claimed that she was forced to have sex with Andrew multiple times when she was just 17. Andrew has denied her claims, but the damage to his reputation has been done. Though Andrew divorced his wife Sarah Ferguson back in 1996, they still live together at Royal Lodge.
“It’s even more difficult to find a billionaire to bail them out now, but nevertheless, that’s what they’ll try and do,” Baker said of the former couple. “They’re not going to go down the job center, are they?”
Wilson, however, chimed back in to say that Andrew may not need to find a job after all.
“He inherited money from the Queen Mother. He inherited money from the Queen,” Wilson said. “I think there is money there, but he’s not prepared to shell it out.”
