former prince andrewThe alleged reaction during his expulsion from the Royal Lodge has sparked a new controversy within royal circles, with a source claiming the former Duke of York was furious after being asked to leave the Windsor home. It is no surprise that Andrew was accustomed to high status and honor. So, reportedly moving out of the house he had always lived in was a tough blow. Thus, he was prompted to remind everyone that he was the queen’s son.
Source says former Prince Andrew used the late Queen’s name when asked to ‘get out’ of the Royal Lodge
Sun Former Prince Andrew’s alleged reaction to his expulsion from the Royal Lodge was exclusively reported. An insider described tense discussions over Andrew’s exit from the royal establishment. He said he tried to back out by citing his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
“He refused to leave or take any responsibility,” a royal insider told The Sun. They claimed, “When he was asked to get out, he was so arrogant and confused that he kept shouting over and over again, ‘But I’m the Queen’s second son, you can’t do this to me.’
Furthermore, the source said, “It is extraordinary that he chose to use the Queen’s name in his defence. No one is sure whether the reality of his serious condition has yet hit home.” Meanwhile, another insider told the outlet that talks went on for a longer period. He suggested that these conversations had not been entirely peaceful, claiming that Andrew “didn’t want to leave.”
The Royal Lodge is a large property in Windsor Great Park. It has long been associated with Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. And, now, The Sun reports that talks continued for months as officials tried to resolve the situation and move the pair forward. Andrew has currently relocated to the Sandringham Estate, ahead of permanent arrangements.
Whatever the full picture behind palace doors looks like, the report paints a clear picture of a former senior royal who was accustomed to tradition. This shows that he was protesting against a decision he did not want to accept. According to what the source claimed, former Prince Andrew’s response to his expulsion from the Royal Lodge included using the late Queen’s name as his shield. This is when the final call came.
