cut off his jobless brother from any further cash, making it almost impossible for Andrew to remain at the $38 million Royal Lodge, located on the grounds of Windsor Castle.“One of the problems that Prince Andrew has is that he is occasionally convinced of his rightness, and he gets himself into hot water with his stubbornness and sometimes his own arrogance has caused him to create these problems,” royal commentator Rupert Bell told Times Radio.Bell believes it’s Andrew’s “arrogance” that’s keeping him firmly placed at the plush royal digs.“He feels like he lost everything and if he loses his house, well then he probably feels that even more has been taken away from him.”Noting the power dynamics between the feuding siblings, Bell adds that Charles “is trying in a way to force his hand but if Andrew says I can afford to live here, then there’s not much the King can do.”Indeed, a palace insider told the Sun over the weekend that Andrew is “holding firm and is determined to stay in the Royal Lodge.”“He is insistent that he has the funds to pay for his own security, despite the eye-watering seven-figure sum it is reportedly costing him,” the source went on.“He is no longer a financial burden on the King and sees no reason why he should have to move from his home.”The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.Andrew has resided at the sprawling property since 2004.
