The real person who has been helping out Prince Andrew with royal lodge finances has finally been revealed.
Amid growing questions of Prince Andrew’s finances, especially after his living allowance was cut due to involvement in the Jeffrey Epsteirn scandal, insiders have revealed who’s paying for the upkeep of lavish Windsor residency.
Sources have shared with DailyMail that King Charles has quietly been helping out his brother.
“He [Andrew] just doesn't have that many friends any more. He barely goes out, he's not that welcome anywhere. So it's got to be family, and the obvious person is the King. I mean, why would anybody who's not family want to give him money when they're not going to get anything out of it except a lot of flack?” a source stated.
Meanwhile, another claimed that Charles has paid all the money from his own pocket not from the taxes from the public, adding, “Charles has paid for it all. The King has cleared it. It's all done.”
For the unversed, Royal Lodge was leased to Andrew following Queen Elizabeth's death. Despite King Charles' request for Andrew to leave the estate more than a year ago, the Duke of York remains in residence.
On the other hand, as King Charles plans to bring together the royal family at Sandringham for the Christmas service, speculation continues over whether Prince Andrew will be there.
