PRINCE Andrew has been spotted looking miserable as he drove through Windsor amid fears he will be evicted from his Royal Lodge home.

The Duke of York appeared behind the wheel of his Range Rover around the premises of the castle.

Snaps showed the disgraced Prince behind the wheel of his Range Rover around Windsor Castle.

The royal, who no longer has official duties, appeared with a dull face after news broke his Royal Lodge home is "crumbling".

Despite facing "extensive repairs" he refused to leave the 30-room mansion.

He struck a deal to stay at the deteriorating home following a reported row with the King and William last year.

Pictures showed crumbling paintwork and cracks forming on the outside of the the 19th-century, Grade II-listed property.

The disgraced Duke, 64, has reportedly already poured £7.5million into repairs but sources say he cannot continue to meet the £400,000 a year bill.

The Sun reported last year the home currently needs an estimated £2million in repairs with the duke reportedly paying £200,000 for roof repairs.

Very little work has been carried out on the property since Andrew spent £7m on repairs when he moved in after the 2002 death of the Queen Mother.

He shares the sprawling 30-room mansion in Windsor with just his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

Last year, Andrew and the King clashed when Charles was said to have wanted to kick his brother out of his home with courtiers saying Prince William and his family would eventually move into the vast property.

It comes as a Royal expert revealed why Charles won’t ever strip Prince Andrew of his titles. 

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Richard Palmer slammed the Duke of York as a “perpetual embarrassment” on the royal family.

After settling a sexual abuse case with accuser Virginia Giuffre in 2022, the 64-year-old was stripped of his public roles and tax payer-funded Metropolitan Police protection.

The duke is said to have dug his heels in over plans to further cut his privileges, which include moving out of the Royal Lodge in Windsor.
