"The Royal Collection, which owns quite a lot of the treasures inside there, may say, 'Well we can't be confident that this place is safe anymore,' and they'll start taking the paintings and some of the furniture away," explained royal biographer Robert Hardman. This reflects the growing concerns over the security of the Royal Lodge amid the Duke of York's financial uncertainties and potential instability of his living situation.
"The King is very conscious that [Royal Lodge] is not entirely in his gift. It's a Crown Estate property and the Crown Estate ultimately answers to the government," said Hardman, illustrating the limitations King Charles faces in managing Royal Lodge and his brother's residency.
