Prince Andrew faces a hefty $190,000 bill to stop his Royal Lodge property from “spiraling out of control,” according to a UK property expert.
The disgraced Duke of York, 64, was poised to leave the Royal Lodge after his brother King Charles cut him off financially late last year.
In a desperate bid to pinch a few pennies, the disgraced Duke of York has kept himself busy by taking on yard work at the house after no longer being able to afford help.
As a result, the 21-acre garden is in a “shocking state.”
Now, it appears as though Andrew is in need of a “professional intervention” if he wants the estate ever looking as good as it once did, a UK property expert told GB News.
“Without regular attention, overgrowth can quickly spiral out of control, requiring professional intervention to restore order,” Terry Fisher told the outlet.
“Maintaining 21 acres of gardens at a property like Royal Lodge would typically require a dedicated team of four to six gardeners, depending on the complexity of the landscaping.”
Fisher went on, “Costs can vary, but hiring experienced gardeners could range from $37,000 to $50,000 annually per gardener, meaning the total annual maintenance bill could easily exceed $190,000.
“This would cover routine tasks like mowing, pruning, planting, and general upkeep to ensure the grounds remain in top condition.”
Despite the disgraced royal’s best efforts at developing a green thumb, the 30-room mansion is reportedly surrounded by shrubbery and woodland.
It mimics the situation inside the residence, after Charles kickstarted the process of removing precious artifacts due to maintenance and security concerns.
Andrew has resided at the sprawling property since 2004. He currently lives there with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
Andrew narrowly avoided eviction from the lavish estate last year after finding a mystery financial backer at the eleventh hour.
He has since faced calls from the UK government to reveal the source of his newfound funding.
Earlier this week, Andrew faced fresh eviction calls after it emerged that he held a business meeting with China’s ambassador to the UK just days before his links to an alleged Chinese spy became public.
