Andrew, Sarah & a Royal Lodge question

Following some of the news stories about Andrew relinquishing Titles & a more local news story saying that he & his ex wife will continue to live in the Royal Lodge makes me wonder how that can be funded. Can they be made to leave if they can't pay?

It has 7 - or 12? - bedrooms so I expect it requires a bit of mopping & dusting each week - so do A & S also employ staff to maintain the property.

Not sure how old they both are either, maybe close to retirement?? but how do they fund a lifestyle without being propped up by the RF. Which prob won't please William too.
Just my tuppence worth question wondering how non working ex Royals with no marketable skills will pay staff wages & buy groceries.

The amount of money that various companies paid SF to work for them / represent them such a WW , Hello magazine, Wedgewood. I’d be sorted for life but she just frittered it away.
I had to laugh at her harassing Kevin Costner with raunchy phone calls and having to be told to stop!

I want to know what's in all those Amazon parcels she has.

ThePoshUns · 01/11/2025 17:59

Same!

bubzie · 02/11/2025 02:01

It's a bit like when the President of Syria had to scarper and all his stuff from Amazon left and Imelda Marcos and all her shoes. Maybe she's ordering it all on Andrew while she still can!

I’m listening to Entitled on my walks. I walk to relax but goodness me this pair are making my blood boil. I’ve just got to the Epstein chapter.

I won't read it because just the snippets I have seen on here or lownies interviews beggars belief. I have no doubt it is all true and the profligate greed is disgusting. I can't imagine being a millionaire but still wanting more, grubbing around in the dirt instead of kicking back and enjoying life.

I agree.

I find it amusing that Charles is being written off as a bit of a no hoper and William is the next big hope. Yet his history is of someone that has hardly been enthusiastic about work. (Charles actually does have a reputation for being diligent about his duties).

We was enthusiastic about being in the air ambulance. He loved it. It’s a shame he is forced to this role which clearly doesn’t suit him. I’m sure he does his best to fulfil the role but I don’t think it’s a life he wanted at all.

He’s been brought up knowing what his role was. Why do you think it doesn’t suit him? I bet he has his own ideas about what he bring to the role

The updated one will be called Untitled?

I wonder if this has been updated.

That is really unfortunate.

There have been pubs called the Duke of York way before Andrew. I hope they keep the name and change the sign to a better example!

Oh my god that woman is absolutely friggin shameless!

It doesn't surprise me.
She'll almost certainly have a property there.

ShenandoahRiver · 10/11/2025 12:38

Is it not beyond the reach of Buckingham Palace to advise Bea to pull her horns in?

I think she's trading on her Princess title and it should be removed.

I agree, she’s not going to benefit from tagging along with her disgraceful parents any more so one has to grub for money as best one can….
Hideous family.

MrsEmmelineLucas · 10/11/2025 12:51

Just relentlessly greedy and grasping.

"Afternoon Tea with Princess Beatrice of York"

What a load of old bollocks. And where's the outrage for this from those who castigate Meghan and harry endlessly for daring to make a living and who happen to have titles too..

NewAgeNewMe · 10/11/2025 13:48

I really think they should strip royal titles unless working royals or retired working royals (health, age etc) from now on.

JSMill · 10/11/2025 13:59

ShenandoahRiver · 10/11/2025 11:33

I was saw that and it’s outrageous. She is picking up from where her parents left. She should not be using her titles at work. I hope the Mail keeps covering this.

MrsLeonFarrell · 10/11/2025 14:59

What an immensely stupid decision by Beatrice. Why didn't she realise how it would come across?

@jumpingthehighjumpi don't think any royal should use their title for profit.
