Prince Andrew has reached his deadline day as King Charles is axing the duke's security amid their bitter royal feud.
The Duke of York, who has lived in Royal Lodge, the former home of the Queen Mother, since 2003, is facing a fresh "nightmare" as he prepares to have his home security detail stripped this week.
The monarch's decision to cut the duke's security team at Royal Lodge is understood to take effect on November 1.
It is believed the King did this to force Andrew's hand, pushing him to move out of the property entirely and find somewhere else to live without security funded by the Royal Family.

Andrew has so far managed to cling on to the property, valued at £30million, though it's unclear where he will end up after his security detail is removed.
Charles previously offered his brother Frogmore Cottage - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's former home.
But Andrew has a 75-year lease with Royal Lodge and is understood to want to pass it to his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Finding the money to buy a new house and equip it with a security team could prove difficult for Prince Andrew because of the scandal surrounding his friendship with the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

Craig Brown, author of "Q: A Voyage Around the Queen" claimed the corgis, which he inherited from the late Queen Elizabeth II, are a "nightmare" to live with.
Andrew took in two of the Queen's beloved corgis - Sandy and Muik - following her death.
Brown wrote: "Corgis are, it turns out, an unpredictable, temperamental bunch, one minute cuddly, the next psycho, the Corleones of the dog world."

Brown added: "He would happily attack the dining room chairs at Royal Lodge, the family home in Windsor Great Park."
The Queen famously doted on the more than 30 corgis she owned during her life, spoiling them with a line of royal chefs who were tasked with coming up with a special menu for the pups.
