> Cracks appear and paintwork flakes on Andy's exterior building
> King will be 'alarmed' by the state of Queen Mum's old home
PRINCE Andrew's home appears to be crumbling and desperately in need of repair, potentially reigniting the row with Charles and William over whether he should still live there.
The disgraced Duke of York, who has no apparent income, was reportedly told last year to leave the 30-room Royal Lodge by the King.
There were claims Andrew, 64, could not meet the £400,000-a-year upkeep of the 19th century, Grade II-listed property, which has a pool and 90 acres of land.
But Andrew refused to budge from the Queen Mother's former home in Windsor Great Park.
It was reported in October last year he did a deal to stay if he kept up repairs.
But our exclusive pictures today show what seems to be worsening cracks to brickwork, as well as paint peeling from an exterior building. A source said: "The Duke of York has a clear responsibility for the upkeep of the Royal Lodge estate, which is certainly not happening.
"The state of the residence will be of great concern to the King after everything that has gone on and been discussed in regards to the house.
"Prince Andrew was told he must take charge of the necessary renovations or he will have no cause to stay in the house.
"There is no doubt the King will be alarmed at the true state of the residence after the duke assured him everything was in hand."
