Prince Andrew is having a royal moment after being told to vacate the 30-bedroom Royal Lodge for William and Kate and move into some embarrassing hovel. Hold on, he’s actually being asked to relocate to Frogmore Cottage, the 10-bedroom residence recently renovated by Prince Harry and Meghan… Nevertheless, Andrew is said to be “seeking face-to-face showdown talks with his brother” (aka the King), who ordered the residential reshuffle. Andrew’s friends rallied around their pal in the British press, with one quoted as saying: “He is so fragile. He’s refusing to see anybody. This has been his family home for the past 20 years. Is it really sensible to kick him out?” The friend added that “He’s concerned that now the Coronation is over, the knives are out. He’s worried that the Royals might even turn off the utilities to get him out of there.”
