Prince Andrew has reportedly told King Charles he would vacate Royal Lodge only if provided separate residences for himself and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, according to UK media cited by Geo News. The claims, attributed to The Sun and reported via the Telegraph, suggest Andrew raised the prospect of moving to Frogmore Cottage while seeking a comparable home for the Duchess of York.
Palace insiders were quoted as disputing that Adelaide Cottage—currently associated with the Prince and Princess of Wales—was part of the talks. The reports indicate Andrew is reluctant to leave the Windsor property he has occupied for more than two decades without clarity on location and compensation for renovations.
Friends of the couple told the tabloid that both would want enough space for visits by their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and their families. Buckingham Palace did not immediately comment, and details of any agreement remain unconfirmed.
