In a shocking twist, Princess Anne and Prince Edward decided to take disgraced Prince Andrew's side in his battle against King Charles III for the Royal Lodge. This now pits three of Queen Elizabeth II's children against their elder brother and her successor as the siege gets "dirty."

This led royal author Richard Kay to observe, "It is also significant that Edward and Princess Anne have both quietly supported their brother Andrew's desire to carry on where he is."

"The Edinburghs have their own home, Bagshot Park, which they hold on a long lease from the Crown Estate, and insiders suggest that transplanting them into Royal Lodge could dramatically disrupt family dynamics," he added.

Even with this alleged camaraderie now at his side, Kay pointed out, "All this, of course, hardly matters if Prince Andrew refuses to move."

This bombshell news followed reports from March suggesting how Edward "will not fight" his older brother when it comes to leading the Crown during the King's medical leave then. But one royal expert feels that both Edward and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, "don't need to fight or back" the Jeffrey Epstein-connected Duke, since they are "both loved" by the public.

Similarly, the Princess Royal is said to feel that what the sovereign is doing to their younger brother is "wrong," and that "no matter what he may or may not have done" does not take away from that.

King Charles is now outnumbered by three of his siblings against his wish to boot Prince Andrew from the Royal Lodge.

Royal Lodge near Windsor Castle has become the subject of a multi-senior royal feud for the rights to the "jewel in the royal residential portfolio." With Andrew and King Charles III currently battling over the property, some analysts predict who will get the home if the King throws his disgraced brother out.

"The logical choice, of course, would be the Prince and Princess of Wales, but they've shown relatively little interest in moving home again," author Gareth Russell shared. "They seem quite content where they are. It could be the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh."

This comes after Sarah Ferguson all but confirmed the long-running Charles and Andrew rift with Good Morning Britain host Martin Lewis when he kept asking the ex-royal about the quarrel. "I tend not to get involved in brothers' discussions, and I think that's the safest place to be," Ferguson pointedly told the broadcaster when asked about the squabble. "Let the brothers discuss it between themselves."

The Duke of York will likely lose the Royal Lodge to King Charles III.

As for the mansion itself, Russell added, "It's not the case that we're seeing them being replaced by other royals as much as they were in the past. So it may be that Royal Lodge is just put to different use once Prince Andrew leaves. It's possible that no one will go into Royal Lodge. I think we're at the start of an era in which the older rules on royal properties don't apply and we won't be able to make the same predictions."
