Prince Andrew<\/a> is in advanced talks with the King\u2019s representatives about quitting his Royal Lodge home, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n Andrew, 65, is under intense pressure to vacate the 30-room country home in Windsor<\/a> amid the continuing furore over his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> and outcry over his \u201cpeppercorn rent\u201d on the property.<\/p>\n Buckingham Palace is trying to crank up the pressure on the King\u2019s brother to voluntarily give up the residence, from which he cannot legally be evicted from under the terms of his \u201ccast iron\u201d lease, the Telegraph reported.<\/p>\n While the Prince\u2019s initial response was to push back and cite the fact he has 50 years left on his pre-paid lease, there is a growing sense of inevitability that he will now move out, royal sources told the newspaper.<\/p>\n Key issues relating to Andrew leaving are said to be where he will live instead and the level of compensation he will receive for the millions he has spent on the home, sources told the paper.<\/p>\n It is claimed that the palace is strongly pushing to force Andrew out and reassure his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie that their own homes in St James’s Palace and Kensington Palace respectively will be unaffected.<\/p>\n Andrew could potentially live in a property on one of the King’s privately-owned residences such as Sandringham or Balmoral in Aberdeenshire.<\/p>\n But the prince is said to be keen to stay in London or Windsor<\/a> near his daughters \u2013 and does not want to be sent to Norfolk or Scotland.<\/p>\n
