Disgraced Prince Andrew is set to stay in his home following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
It is understood that the monarch had made plans for her son before her death and the Mirror’s Royal Editor believes that there is little chance that the Prince is turfed out. They added that the Queen made plans for her child prior to her death to ensure he would be looked after.
Speaking to The Royal Beat podcast, Russel Myers informed listeners that Andrew along with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, “won’t be getting kicked out” of the Royal Lodge in Windsor. The Royal household, which is a Grad-II mansion, was first constructed in the 17th century and was once home to the late Queen Mother.

Myers added that he believes that Elizabeth II would have “looked after” her son Andrew in terms of finances after her death as there had been rumours about his lack of money due to the lifestyle he leads. He added: " There's been a lot of discussion about where Andrew's money will come from, how he will finance his lifestyle, but the Queen will have looked after him."
The podcast panel also included The Sunday Times' Royal Editor Roya Nikkhah and The Sun's Royal Photographer Arthur Edwards. Subjects that were discussed on the podcast were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s kids, King Charles’ Coronation as well as the new roles for Princess Anne and Sophie Wessex as Royal representatives, the Mirror reports.
The Royal Lodge was leased to Prince Andrew after the Queen Mother died. Along with the main house, the lease included the Gardener's Cottage, the Chapel Lodge, six Lodge Cottages, police security accommodation and a whopping 40 hectares of land.
He was required to pay for any renovations himself, which reportedly were in the region of £7.5million. In 2004, he then moved into Royal Lodge with his two daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie and soon after so did his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
It comes after a programme aired in the US this month described Andrew as a "spoiled", "a bully" and "an idiot". Royal experts discussed the Duke of York's friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in the film 'Prince Andrew: Banished', aired on US channel Peacock.
In the documentary, the 62-year-old was also described as "the runt of a litter" and a "horrible person".
