Summary:
- Prince Andrew is on the verge of securing Royal Lodge for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
- The Duke’s plan is contingent on the lease agreement for the property and Crown Estate rules.
- The final decision will depend on King Charles’ approval and lease conditions.
Prince Andrew is close to achieving his goal of passing Royal Lodge to his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Despite a dispute with King Charles over the property, Andrew hopes to secure the 30-room mansion for his children.
A property expert notes that the Duke’s plan hinges on the specifics of his lease agreement. If the lease allows, Andrew can transfer the property to his daughters for the remainder of the term. However, any decision will also need to align with the Crown Estate Act 1961, which imposes certain restrictions. The final outcome depends on the King and Crown Estate’s agreement, but Andrew may be just one signature away from success.
