Prince Andrew hopes to give his home of more than two decades, Royal Lodge, to his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, as an inheritance. The Crown Estate, which owns the property, granted the Duke of York a 75-year lease to the mansion in 2003. In recent years, however — since Andrew was forced to step down from his official royal duties due to his alleged role in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal — King Charles III has attempted to move his younger brother into a smaller home. Andrew has refused to leave.

Property expert Raj Chohan told GB News that because Prince Andrew is no longer a working royal, he no longer has the rights to Royal Lodge. "Royal Lodge is part of the Crown Estate. Since the [Jeffrey Epstein] scandal, Prince Andrew has been stripped away from royal duties, which would mean, as the Crown is funded through taxes and he is not now fulfilling formal duties, this would now not form part of his estate," she explained, adding that she "would assume [Andrew] is like a sitting tenant, paying £250 a week and maintaining the upkeep of the property that's worth over £30million."

"Prince Andrew has expressed wishes to hand the property down to his daughters. As we don't know the legal contracts, we would assume that they would take the property," Raj Chohan said, adding that because Royal Lodge "is still part of the Crown Estate," the board of directors would ultimately "decide the long-term plans" for the property. Chohan also clarified that "in a form of inheritance for the country, siblings get equal shares in all assets."

Raj Chohan noted that the situation is complicated by the fact that like Prince Andrew, his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are not working royals. (They're both young mothers with established careers outside the firm.) "This is made further complicated as both daughters have refused to take on royal duties, perhaps due to being young mothers," Chohan said.
