Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice face missing out on the Royal Lodge as the bitter feud around the residence continues with no resolution in sight.
The Duke of York lives in the Royal Lodge with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and is involved in a row over the royal residence with King Charles.
Prince Andrew signed a 75-year lease agreement with the Crown Estate for the Royal Lodge in 2003.
Andrew is refusing to leave Royal Lodge and plans to pass his lease over to his daughters after his death.

However, the Duke of York originally wanted to pass the lease to his ex-wife but he is unable to do so due to a clause in the agreement with the Crown Estate.
The clause states the lease can only be passed to his children or his widow.
If Prince Andrew remarried Sarah Ferguson he would be able to bequeath his Royal Lodge lease to her after his death.
The lease has 54 years remaining on it and Andrew plans to honour the terms of the agreement.

However, King Charles is urging his brother to give up the Royal Lodge and downsize to Frogmore Cottage.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were using Frogmore as their UK base but the King evicted the couple last year.
Currently, The Duke of York plans to bequeath the lease to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie so that they can use the property after his death for the remaining years of the agreement.
The King reportedly pays a seven-figure sum every year in funding for Prince Andrew to live at the Royal Lodge but is now contemplating pulling the plug on the funds as their feud goes on.

GB News Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker told The Royal Record that Prince Andrew may been holding on to The Royal Lodge as a status symbol.
Cameron said on GB News' Royal podcast: "Going from almost the top of British society to where he is now, almost the recluse in this massive mansion which may be falling apart at the seams, depending on which way you look at it clearly must have had a huge effect on Prince Andrew.
"So is this Prince Andrew's way of trying to hold on desperately to the last thing that gives him status, rather than being demoted yet again, to a really small cottage which used to be lived in by Harry and Meghan and has been done up to Harry and Meghan's Californian tastes.
"I think it's going to be really interesting to see how this one plays out.
