The disgraced Duke of York was poised to leave the sprawling property after King Charles refused to continue financially carrying his brother's weight.

King Charles III probably thought he had the winning strategy to get his younger brother, Prince Andrew, out of Royal Lodge once and for all. However, he didn’t realize that the Duke of York had one more trick up his sleeve when saving himself from eviction.

Friends of Prince Andrew were jubilant Friday night after the disgraced duke won the so-called ‘Siege of Royal Lodge,’ successfully defying his brother King Charles’ long-running efforts to kick him out of the extravagant 90-acre property.
