Prince Andrew believes King Charles plans to give Royal Lodge to Queen Camilla

Prince Andrew and controversy often go hand in hand. 

King Charles's scandal-plagued brother sent shockwaves through the royal circle with the bombshell announcement that he would give up all his titles including the Duke of York, following serious allegations linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

Pressure continues to mount on Andrew, as the controversy surrounding him and his Windsor mansion shows no sign of easing.

The monarch's brother is facing growing calls to vacate the 30-room mansion amid renewed scrutiny over his ties to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and the publication of the posthumous memoirs by his se**all assault accuser Virginia Giuffre. 

However, Andrew maintains his stance of not guilty.

The King has reportedly made several attempts to persuade his younger brother, who lives at the property with his ex wife, Sarah Ferguson, to move out.

The issue has become a major point of contention , as Andrew signed the 75-year lease on the mansion in 2003.

Now, friends of Andrew have reportedly told The Telegraph that he believes the King is putting pressure on him to vacate the residence because he wants it as a base for Queen Camilla in Windsor, should she outlive him.

Buckingham Palace, however, has vehemently denied that this part of King's plan. 

For context, the late Queen Mother was the last occupant of Royal Lodge before Andrew, having lived there after becoming a widow following the death of her husband, King George VI. 

Although Queen Camilla already has access to multiple royal residences, she also owns Ray Mill House, her private family home in Wiltshire. 

It follows fresh allegations that Prince Andrew's 'peppercorn' rent for his Crown Estate property in Windsor Great Park was kept secret in a redacted lease lodged with the Land Registry over 20 years ago.
