Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s fall from grace continues as the disgraced royal faces mounting isolation from both the public and private institutions.
According to Radar Online, a source said the former Duke of York is using legal formalities to delay leaving Royal Lodge.
"He is leaning on every technical step available to slow down his exit from Royal Lodge," a palace source revealed.
Palace and government sources told the publication that Andrew’s move won’t happen until after the Christmas deadline set by the King, as insiders describe the process of handing over the property as "lengthy" and "protracted."
They said the slow timing of Andrew’s move is deliberate as it’s meant to prevent any awkward encounters during the royal family’s Christmas celebrations at Sandringham Estate.
"He understands the succession rules protect him, and he is holding onto that for dear life," another senior royal source shared.
Meanwhile, London’s private members’ clubs, including the historic Savage Club, have barred King Charles’ brother from entry.
"The General Committee has resolved that, in light of recent public developments, the Honorary Life Membership previously held by The Duke of York has been withdrawn," statement from the club said.
"This decision has been taken solely in the interests of upholding the Club's established traditions and standards."
The report claimed that it has left him increasingly cut off from his social circles even though he remains eighth in line to the throne due to succession laws.
"The Savage Club's move opened the floodgates. All other members' clubs in London have now quietly agreed not to let him in," claimed an insider.
"He is toxic and lost and has nowhere to go but his own home, and he now has to find a new one of those."
