Discussions are underway regarding the future housing arrangements for a senior royal family member and his former spouse. The couple, who have shared a residence for many years despite their divorce, are now seeking separate accommodations in exchange for vacating their current home.
According to reports, the royal has requested one property for his own use, while his ex-wife has expressed interest in a different cottage. The proposed properties are currently associated with other members of the royal family, though those individuals are expected to relocate to another residence within the Windsor estate.
The couple has resided at their current home for over two decades, with the property having historical significance within the family. Despite their marital separation years ago, they have continued to cohabitate at the estate.
Sources indicate the former wife is reportedly upset about recent developments concerning her ex-husband’s royal status. While he will technically retain his princely title, he will no longer use his ducal designation, a change that has apparently caused significant distress.
Financial considerations appear to be a factor in the situation, with insiders suggesting the former spouse faces limitations in establishing an independent household. The housing negotiations come amid renewed attention to the royal’s past associations, including recently revealed communications suggesting financial support was provided to his ex-wife by a controversial financier years ago.
The financier in question had previously served jail time for criminal charges before his later death. Correspondence from over a decade ago indicated he had complained about repeated financial requests while expressing frustration about repayment.
Palace officials have not commented on the ongoing property discussions or the recent revelations about past financial arrangements.
