The dramatic collapse of Charles’ campaign to kick Andrew out of the historic property not only calls into question the king’s judgement, it makes him look dangerously weak.
In a bitter humiliation for the king, who has spent much of the past year scheming to get Andrew out of the ten-bedroomed mansion—which he was rumored to be eying as a potential dowager house for his wife Camilla—the palace has thrown in the towel and accepted that Andrew can stay there after all.Charles' last maneuver was to cut his brother’s annual allowance of £1 million and his private security detail.

Andrew has a cast iron lease on the property so god knows why Charles chose to pick this battle,” a friend of the prince told The Daily Beast.
Another friend told The Daily Beast: “Charles has everything. He is as rich as Croesus. Andrew is 64 and his house is basically all he has left and it was wicked of the king to try and take it off him. Why? Who cares?”meanwhile: “If Andrew can pay for his own upkeep with legitimate means, then it is not an issue. But the king’s patience has run out when it comes to funding his brother’s lifestyle in a way that does not fit his status.
