Why Prince Andrew needs to move out of Royal Lodge – right now: The outcast Duke of York has to protect his daughters, writes ANGELA MOLLARD

In refusing to move out of Royal Lodge, the Duke is missing a trick.
He and the Duchess would be inheriting a stunningly renovated home; Andrew could even turn the yoga studio into a cinema – an activity more to his taste.

As he manages his sibling’s eviction, this is not a battle the King can lose. Cancer will have concentrated his mind and should his health decline he will not wish to leave William with the ‘Andrew problem’.
Likewise, cancer – his wife’s and his father’s – has equally concentrated William’s mind.
His father might’ve advocated a slimmed-down monarchy, but the Prince of Wales has seen how deficient the Royal Family becomes when key principals are out of action.
Should the current King pass away before the Wales children reach adulthood, Beatrice and Eugenie, along with Mike and Zara Tindall, will be vital players in the new monarchy.
Together they embody the grace of the late Queen Elizabeth, the application of the Princess Royal and the growing sense of style and warmth that have earned the Princess of Wales such devotion.

If their father fails to see how his actions might impact their futures, he is more selfish and stupid than is already apparent.
