Andrew demands six-bedroom home with staff after being kicked out of royal lodge, stripped of titles

“Andrew feels he has played ball, doing everything asked of him surrounding Royal Lodge. We hear he is reeling and wants to be treated fairly, especially as he is giving up the perfectly valid lease on his beloved Royal Lodge.”

“Andrew feels frustrated, having been pushed into downgrading his accommodation, and is allegedly now demanding a suitable six- or seven-bedroom house on the Sandringham estate,” said Chard. “He feels he is entitled to all the staff he is accustomed to, including a cook, housekeeper, gardener, driver and police security.”

( ... )

Andrew has more leverage now than he will after he moves. A part time cook/housekeeper wouldn't be outrageous. Sandringham already has a team of gardeners, so putting two on rotation to take care of Andrew's house isn't a big deal. A driver? No. Police security? He's already secure on Sandringham, so no.

Considering that Andrew's pretty much a pariah and no one will be coming for weekends other than his family, I don't know why he needs 6 - 7 bedrooms. Let's see, one for him, one for Fergie, a nursery, two suites for the daughters and their husbands and rooms for nannies. Yup, that would come out to 7 bedrooms.

Is said... allegedly... I see nothing wrong with a six-bedroom house. He'll have grandchildren visiting. I do think he needs police protection. We've seen what unhinged conspiracy theorists are capable of in the US (January 6 anyone?).

The problem is that Andrew isn't really in the position to "demand" what he wants. As we've discussed, Andrew and Fergie put themselves in their present positions. Andrew is not dealing with his mother, he has to "deal" with his brother, the King.
I agree, some police protection is needed, there is a rumor, that there are further e-mails showing that Andrew was in deeper with Epstein than he revealed and he knew what Epstein and Maxwell were doing all along. It means he knew from the get go.
We'll see if this rumor proves to be true. However, what is already known, Andrew should have some degree of protection. A lot of angry people are around.

Originally Charles wanted him to move into 5-bedroom Frogmore Cottage. What's one more bedroom?

I just looked up the "royal commentator" Meredith Constant cited in the article. According to her YouTube channel, she describes herself as a "writer and media critic who is insatiably curious about the power between the media and powerful figures - especially the British Royal Family. Join me as I pull threads, go down rabbit holes and not only share my research, but show you how I research."

Andrew--gasp!--might have to actually do things for himself, like the weekly grocery shopping and cooking meals. I'm getting a fit of the giggles imagining Andrew at Tesco! Maybe he'll shop at Primark for his clothes, too. There's got to be one near Sandringham...

I thought the reason Charles dropped the idea of Andrew moving to Frogmore Cottage was to hide him away from the public on either the Balmoral or Sandringham Estate. Expecting him to do the weekly grocery shopping kind of defeats that purpose.

True. BUt I just get a kick out of the idea of Andrew having to to do things like shop and cook and maybe even clean. I'm sure he'll have staff for that though.

I don't think that Andrew will be reduced to ironing his own shirts and popping out twice a week for groceries. Charles wants him on Sandringham because it's not a crown estate, so speculation about peppercorns will be moot. By paying for Andrew's upkeep, Charles can exert a certain amount of control over his brother. In theory, anyway. I wonder if there are any real sticking points, or if the stories about extravagant demands and incandescent kings is the media wishing for the story to come true.

Do you think Andrew is happy about Fergie finding her own place or do you think he wants her under his roof? She would provide support for him, which he needs. But she always has some madness swirling around nearby, which nobody needs. Is Andrew glad to be rid of her or will he be lost without her?

Andrew will have staff, perhaps not the amount/number of staff he's been used to having all his life. A lot of this stuff probably is media blowing things up to inflame the public even more.
As for Fergie, that's interesting. The week after the King dropped the bomb and Fergie went from Duchess back to commoner, "friends" put out the story that she would glad to leave Andrew. According to the "friends" Fergie would reveal that the whole "bestest friends" and great relationship after their divorce was a sham. Sounded more like a story about sour grapes. Fergie has nothing. All her business contacts have dropped her or nearly all. No one is reaching out to her out of a business interest. She can't have a ton of money....she runs through like a sieve. We'll see if she relocates to Portugal and if she does, I would bet she won't be there very long. She either go back to the UK or try the US. The trouble is Epstein.

"A lifestyle app backed by Sarah Ferguson received more than £1m of taxpayers' money but collapsed without ever launching a product, according to documents filed this week.

vVoosh was founded by Manuel Fernandez, a close friend of Ms Ferguson, who once described herself as an "ambassador" for the company and was an investor.

It promised to give users "the power to Find, Plan, Share, Live, and Remember all the things you love to do - and those you're yet to try."

Ms Ferguson and Mr Fernandez did not respond to requests for comment.

vVoosh was put into administration last month - and its failure will raise further questions about the judgement of the former duchess and the business relationships she pursued"

".........Ms Ferguson, 66, lost her duchess title when her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, relinquished use of his Duke of York title over his links with Epstein. He has since been stripped of the title of prince as well.

Last month it emerged that a crypto-currency mining firm had agreed to pay her up to £1.4m for acting as a "brand ambassador" - that firm also failed, allegedly costing investors millions. Its co-founder denied misconduct and said he was working to repay backers. "

I wonder if all these failed businesses are fronts for money laundering.

I wouldn't rule out your suggestion at all.

Charles is not fond of Fergie. He doesn't want Andrew and Fergie under the same roof because he doesn't want to fund her. At this point, Andrew and Sarah can't be under the same roof any more.
