Prince Andrew ‘granted permission to stay at Royal Lodge’: report

Prince Andrew could be staying home after all.

Following months of speculation, the disgraced royal, 63, has been “granted permission by [King Charles] to stay indefinitely at his Royal Lodge” abode, the Mirror reported Tuesday.

There has been back and forth for a time between Andrew and Charles, 74, on whether or not the former could stay at his longtime home.

The king had previously inquired Andrew to move into Frogmore Cottage, in an attempt to scale down the monarchy.

The outlet then noted that the Duke of York’s been “given time to assure his brother he can come up with the necessary funds to carry out much needed repairs” on the Royal Lodge.

Andrew has been given a “stay of execution,” despite the repairs on the 30-room mansion needing more than $2 million to renovate.

He also reportedly cashed out on more than $200,000 for roof repairs over the summer.

Prince Andrew was famously stripped of his royal and military honors by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, following his alleged friendship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He was also barred from using his HRH (“His Royal Highness”) moniker and lost his patronages in 2022.

According to the outlet, Andrew and Charles met “privately at Balmoral at the end of August, during a royal family gathering, where the issues were discussed.”

The brothers have had a “cooling of relations” in recent weeks, the insider said.

The source noted that it was Prince William who helped usher in a resolution between his uncle and father at Balmoral.

The Lodge holds a particular place in Andrew’s heart as he’s lived there since 2004 with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

“Andrew’s stance has paid off. He has refused all attempts by the King to leave his home, dig his heels and the King has relented,” the insider claimed.

The duke’s home was previously designated for William, 41, his wife, Kate Middleton, and their three kids, Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte and Prince George.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have currently been residing at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

The family moved into the cottage in the summer of 2022 from their former home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk.

The bungalow is reportedly too “cramped” for the fivesome, a source told OK! in June.
