Sarah Ferguson breaks silence on Prince Andrew and King Charles' Royal Lodge feud on Good Morning Britain

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Sarah Ferguson sidestepped questions on the reported dispute between Prince Andrew and King Charles regarding the state of the 'crumbling' Royal Lodge.It's understood that Prince Andrew holds a lengthy lease on the Royal Lodge, yet he is "locked in a row with his brother King Charles" over his continued residence and the maintenance of the lodge.

With King Charles controlling the purse strings for Royal household finances, there's speculation he may cut back on funding, potentially leaving Prince Andrew in a bind to cover the high costs of the property's upkeep.Furthermore, King Charles shoulders the annual £3 million security bill for Prince Andrew, and tensions appear to be rising as King Charles reportedly pressures his brother to consider relocating from the expansive Grade II-listed home, which boasts an impressive 30 rooms and demands significant maintenance expenses.Despite residing at the Lodge with Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, appearing on Good Morning Britain today, tactfully avoided commenting on the brothers' conflict.

She told the programme: "I tend not to get involved in brothers' discussions and I think that's the safest place to be." As the conversation began, host Martin Lewis directly questioned her about the Lodge. "Bit of a dampener," Martin initially cautioned his guest, "obviously, you live with Prince Andrew in Royal Lodge", before summarising the ongoing dispute between the Duke and his brother King Charles and asking: "Do we know what's going on with that? " Sarah then responded: "It's not a Debbie Downer.

It's life in the fast lane", reports the Mirror."I'm a guest, for a start. I'm a very lucky guest and a very comfortable guest.
