ANGELA LEVIN: Does the 'Battle of Royal Lodge' between Charles and his brother have its roots in Andrew's extraordinary plot to oust Charles from the line of succession and seize the throne himself?

ANGELA LEVIN: Does the 'Battle of Royal Lodge' between Charles and his brother have its roots in Andrew's extraordinary plot to oust Charles from the line of succession and seize the throne himself? There are understandable reasons why King Charles might want his younger brother to move out of 30-room Royal Lodge, the Queen Mother's former mansion on the Windsor estate. The King has correctly identified the cost of the monarchy as a major political issue  and a potentially dangerous one – which is why he has cut the £250,000 annual grant that Andrew received from their late mother every year. Is it appropriate for a disgraced prince to live in quite such style? Not everyone would think so. Andrew's children are grown-up, moreover, so it's not as if he needs the space. Is sibling rivalry a factor in the ongoing row between King Charles and Prince Andrew?Pictured: Prince Andrew and Prince Charles celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee at St Paul's Cathedr...

Sarah Ferguson’s Promise to Queen Elizabeth Might Explain Her ‘Unusual Relationship’ With Prince Andrew Prince Andrew  and  Sarah Ferguson  have been divorced since 1996, but that hasn’t stopped the two of them from being BFFs over the decades. The besties have continued to live together at Royal Lodge on the Windsor grounds, and they have had each other’s backs through  her financial controversies  and his Jeffery Epstein association.  While many people have steered clear of Andrew after he settled his legal case with Virginia Giuffre, who alleged that  he sexually abused her  when she was underage after being trafficked by Epstein — Sarah remains firm in her loyalty. While that may surprise some royal watchers, it’s something she promised  Queen Elizabeth II  before her death. “I said to her before she died, I will be there with him [Prince Andrew], I will help him on his journey,” the  A Most Intriguing Lady  author  t...

"The pressure on us both as a couple with the media was phenomenal, and misunderstood by a great many people," she said. "We'd be going round Australia, for instance, and all you could hear was, 'Oh, she'...
