King Charles has “two massive problems” in his bid to evict Prince Andrew from Royal Lodge, according to Lee Cohen.
The royal commentator joined Nana Akua on GB News to discuss what the monarch’s next move may be as he endeavours to move his younger brother out of the residence.
But two major stipulations are proving to be a massive hindrance for the King, according to Cohen.
“Sadly, the King has two massive entitlement problems, the Sussexes and the Duke of York”, he said.

“Does he seriously need these problems amid a massive health crisis? It speaks to his best qualities that Charles is being tolerant to the troublemakers in his family.
“He has been generous to his brother, supporting him financially. He doesn’t seem to need a larger house.

“It seems the best outcome for the Duke of York would be to move to Frogmore Cottage as proposed.
“Currently he can’t keep up with the upkeep of Royal Lodge and pay for security.”
Cohen went on to express fears over how not being able to remove Andrew from the residence would look on the King.
“It’s not being mean”, he said.

“It’s institutionally ensuring clarity and focus on the roles of the people who are associated with the institution.
“It aligns privileges with responsibilities and it sets a precedent for accountability by taking a firm stance with Prince Andrew’s residencies.
“It would communicate that no member - regardless of their birthright - is beyond reproach.”
Charles is said to be considering withdrawing the private funding that covers the estate’s £3 million annual security costs.
Mooted alternatives include a move to Frogmore Cottage for the Duke of York, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle previously resided.
