Sovereign Andrew has supposedly thought of an arrangement to stay at his ongoing imperial house as his sibling Ruler Charles keeps on searching for a proviso to make him scale down.
The shamed Duke of York, 64, has inhabited the $38 million Imperial Hotel, situated on the grounds of Windsor Palace, beginning around 2004 after he marked a 75-year rent understanding the prior year.
After his companionship with the late pedophile lender Jeffrey Epstein became visible in 2019, Andrew has ended up near the very edge of ousting from the extravagant imperial digs.
Prince Andrew has reportedly come up with a plan to remain at his current royal mansion.
In a further blow amid his fall from grace, Andrew was named in the Epstein document dump in January.
Still, it appears the monarch, 75, is struggling to boot his scandal-scarred brother from the property despite the controversies.
“Andrew can sit tight and run out the clock,” a source told the Daily Beast. “Andrew wants his brother to live long and prosper. He is intensely loyal to the monarchy.”
“But it’s not exactly a state secret that Andrew is more than a decade younger than his brother,” the insider added.

“Quite why Charles wants this distraction at this moment in his reign is a great mystery to Andrew’s friends,” the source continued.
“It looks childish and vindictive as I don’t think anyone except Charles would give a damn where Andrew lives.”
The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.
Andrew has reportedly been refusing to downsize from his lavish royal mansion to Frogmore Cottage, which currently sits empty after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were forced to hand over the keys.

The pair, who reside in Montecito, Calif., vacated the plush five-bedroom property in June 2023, and the home has since seen no new tenants, the annual Sovereign Grant revealed in July.
According to palace sources, Andrew plans to bequeath the lease to his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, so that they can use the property after his death.
“The whole thing is a mess and arguing about it publicly is not helping the king,” a former courtier told the outlet.
“Ultimately, Andrew will have to be given something to surrender the lease.”

Still, it appears as though Andrew’s current property has seen better days.
The disgraced royal has reportedly been neglecting payments to maintain the Grade II listed property — which requires an annual $503,000 for upkeep.
