King Charles could cut off Prince Andrew’s security funding at Royal Lodge over Epstein docs dump: report

Prince Andrew could soon be “forced out” of the Royal Lodge and have his private security funding yanked away from his brother, King Charles, after being named in the latest Jeffrey Epstein document dump, according to a report.

The disgraced Duke of York has resided at the royal residence, located on the grounds of Windsor Castle, since 2004 after signing a 75-year lease agreement the year prior.

The Royal Lodge previously belonged to the Queen Mother until her death in 2002. Andrew currently shares the 31-room Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

But sources told the Daily Mail that the latest developments in the Epstein document unsealing could indeed “crystalize” King Charles’s determination to solve the “Andrew problem.”

“When it comes to any public role for his brother, there is no way back,” an insider told the outlet.

“There has always been an agreement that Andrew would be permitted to attend private and family events, as is his right.”

“But not public or official ones. That has not changed,” the source added.

It’s reported that the King will now look to move his scandal-scarred brother into a smaller residence, although he will not turn his back on him.

“When it comes to family, it is difficult. But this association is just never going to go away. And that means he [Andrew] has to,” another source added.

Charles is prepared to slash Andrew’s private funding for the security operation at the royal residence, The Telegraph reports.

Sources told the outlet that Andrew will have to fork out millions to fund his security costs at Royal Lodge should he want to stay there.

Andrew’s name, as well as over 200 others, appeared in court documents that contain a gross accusation of inappropriate touching by the British royal. 

They were filed in a since-settled defamation lawsuit that Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre brought against the late sicko’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 2015.

Unsealed docs reveal that one alleged Epstein victim, Johanna Sjoberg, said in a 2016 deposition that Andrew put his hand on her breast as she sat on his lap at the financier’s Manhattan townhouse in 2001. 

She also posed for a photo alongside Giuffre, whose breast was groped using a puppet of Andrew, Sjoberg testified.

“They put the puppet on Virginia’s lap, and I sat on Andrew’s lap, and they put the puppet’s hand on Virginia’s breast, and Andrew put his hand on my breast, and they took a photo,” she said of Maxwell and Epstein. 

Andrew has denied the accusation, which was revealed and reported on in a previous document dump, according to Reuters.

The disgraced royal was famously stripped of his royal and military honors by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and no longer holds an HRH title.
