A reduction in his annual grant has raised questions as to how he will afford the upkeep at Royal Lodge in the coming years. But this doesn't seem to have deterred him. However, royal biographer Andrew Lownie told Express.co.uk that the move does not seem to be happening, as his "rivalry" with Charles goes back further than the property issue. He said: "I can't see them moving. Andrew is stubborn, obsessed with status, has a contract with Crown Estate and sufficient money to support upkeep. "He's weathered worst storms. I fear part of a longer narrative and rivalry with King Charles going back to childhood and involving appearances on balconies, protection and roles for his daughters."
