Prince Andrew exploits royal loophole as he makes key change in order to keep beloved home

Prince Andrew has figured out a way to stay put in his Windsor mansion while financing his own security, it has been reported.

King Charles is said to still be trying to evict the disgraced royal out of Royal Lodge – which has been the Duke of York’s home since the early 2000s.

In a bid to evict his brother, Charles reportedly axed an annual £2.9m payment Andrew used to pay his security guards at Royal Lodge.

But he Sun on Sunday has reported that Andrew has found a way around this. The paper states the Duke has “negotiated a cheaper protection deal at his leased home which he refuses to leave. His plan is believed to be bankrolled by Middle East money.”

The source further told the publication: “He has his security but at a cheaper rate and he is managing to finance it himself.
