According to The Sun, the Duke of York reacted furiously when told he would have to vacate Royal Lodge in Windsor. During the tense exchange, he allegedly shouted, “I’m the Queen’s second son, you can’t do this to me.”
The outburst reportedly came as arrangements were being made for his relocation to Sandringham. What might have been a routine logistical discussion instead became an emotionally charged standoff. Insiders described months of drawn-out negotiations over the property, a dispute that royal circles reportedly dubbed the “Siege of Royal Lodge.”
One source claimed Andrew refused to accept responsibility and invoked the memory of Queen Elizabeth II in an attempt to halt the decision. Long considered a favorite of the late monarch, he had weathered previous controversies with her visible support. Critics, however, have suggested he represented a “blind spot” for her — a perception that now lingers over the unfolding events.
