\nYork Central MP Rachael Maskell has set out legislation which would grant Charles the power to remove titles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nThe proposed new law would give the monarch the power to remove titles on his own initiative, following a recommendation of a joint committee of Parliament, or at the request of the person who holds the title.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nBut the sprawling mansion set within 98-acre grounds has been used by the royal family for lodgings since the 1800s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nPrior to Andrew\u2019s family taking up residence in the Royal Lodge, it was occupied by King George VI and the Queen Mother when they were still the Duke and Duchess of York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nPrincesses Elizabeth and Margaret spent much time at the Royal Lodge, which was used by the family as a country retreat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the mid-18th century, military topographer and artist Thomas Sandby lived in the house as the deputy ranger of the Great Park, granting the property the name of Deputy Ranger\u2019s House.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nLater, it was home to Joseph Frost, the park bailiff, who then became the general superintendent of farms after Sandby\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nGeorge, Prince of Wales, who went on to become King George IV, used the lodge as temporary accommodation in 1812.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nIt was almost completely demolished, except for the conservatory, in 1830 under King William IV\u2019s orders and rebuilt. By 1840, it was being used as accommodation for various officers of the royal household.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
