Is Andrew set to lose £13m on ski chalet sale?

COULD Prince Andrew be willing to make a stunning multimillion-pound loss on a quick sale of his Verbier skiing chalet?

My spies tell me the Prince, right, has told agents to accept £5 million for the property, above, if a deal can be done by Christmas. The seven- bedroom lodge, jointly owned with his ex- wife Sarah Ferguson, went on sale for £ 18.3 million earlier t his year. The pair are said to be desperate to shift it to repay part of a reported £6.7 million debt. A spokesman for the Prince said: ‘It remains on the market at the asking price.’

But if you have a spare £5 million – and fancy a chalet which reportedly boasts a 650 square foot indoor pool, sauna, sun terrace and bar – it might be worth a try…
