The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Alternative housing like Frogmore Cottage is a fair exchange for leaving Royal Lodge, honoring his longstanding lease until 2078. Providing separate homes for him and Sarah Ferguson offers a practical, fresh start amid pressures, avoiding costly legal battles. This negotiated exit maintains family stability and respects established agreements without unnecessary conflict.

Establishment-critical narrative

Prince Andrew must vacate Royal Lodge immediately without demanding new homes — his Epstein ties and decades of unpaid rent strip away any right to royal perks. Forcing him out protects the monarchy from further scandal and ensures public funds aren't squandered on a disgraced figure. His brazen requests for Frogmore and Adelaide only highlight entitlement that demands swift rejection.
