The beleaguered Duke of York is being pressured by his brother, King Charles, to leave Royal Lodge.The mansion, estimated to be worth £30 million, was leased to Andrew for 75 years in 2004.

However, Charles wants him to relocate to a smaller property and will cease funding his security detail next month in an effort to persuade his brother.
Despite this, Andrew remains resolute in his determination to stay put, but insiders suggest it's a "no-brainer" for the Duke to move.
One possible new home is no longer available, according to reports in the Daily Mail. The Duchess of York, fondly known as 'Fergie', owns a £4.25m London townhouse which was seen as perfect for the pair.
