Ex-Prince Andrew ‘allowed’ Royal Lodge to go ‘unchecked’ for decades, says source Ex-Prince Andrew has reportedly “allowed” his residence, the Royal Lodge, to go “unchecked” for more than two decades. As reported by RadarOnline, a source told them that “The understanding was always that Andrew’s occupancy of the Lodge would be an actively managed arrangement.” The person continued, “Not a case of leaving a valuable historic property to look after itself.” The source then said, “Regular inspections are a basic safeguard for buildings of this age and significance.” The person added, “So the fact that none took place for over 20 years is highly unusual.” It allegedly also “raises serious questions about how oversight was allowed to lapse.” In the meantime, another royal expert said to the news outlet that “Andrew’s living agreement was designed on the assumption that the occupant would act as a careful custodian of the building over the long term.” The person continued, “But none of that has happened.” Meanwhile, another insider went on to talk about the “deteriorated” condition of Ex-Prince Andrew’s residence, the Royal Lodge. The person said, “The condition of the exterior is already a warning sign in itself.” They continued, “When visible upkeep is allowed to deteriorate.” The person added, “It inevitably prompts concern about whether deeper, less visible areas of the property have been neglected as well.” A royal expert explained, “Royal Lodge was never simply a personal residence.” The person further continued, “As a historic, listed property on a safeguarded royal estate, it required consistent supervision.” “Letting it go unchecked for years points to a systemic lapse in how responsibility and oversight were enforced,” they added.
