"Andrew carried out extensive renovation when he moved into the 31-bedroom residence in the early 2000s with his daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

However, two decades later, the Lodge requires new extensive and expensive works, a source has claimed.

They told The Sun: "Royal Lodge is in a terrible state and it is falling down. Millions were spent when Andrew moved in but that was 20 years ago.

"Barely any work has gone on for two decades and people are shocked when they visit."

""There is a serious issue with damp that needs to be rectified and that isn’t cheap on a house of that size. It also needs a new roof.

"Not only does Andrew not have the finances to bring the home up to scratch, it would be uninhabitable when the work is being carried out."

If this story is true, then Charles isn't getting Andrew out of Royal Lodge as spite, but as a necessity, or getting the place ready for the Prince and Princess of Wales.
