Royal sources claim that Prince Andrew's secret source of funding to save the Royal Lodge is, in fact, his brother, King Charles
The "bitter" feud between King Charles and Prince Andrew over the Duke of York's home, the Royal Lodge, was at some point said to be comparable to the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry, but a new (and rather interesting) development might change it all. Prince Andrew recently came up with enough money to carry out much-needed repairs to stay in his house, and according to the mail of Sunday's editor-at-large, Charlotte Griffith, the mysterious source of cash is nothing more than the King himself.
"I have heard from multiple sources that, rather than cutting Andrew off, Charles personally promised to clear his erroneous brother's bill for his maintenance and allow his royal lodge's predicament to be taken care of and allow him to stay there for the foreseeable future," Griffith reported.
The editor continued that "charming — and usually super-discreet - someone at the dinner table told her, "Charles paid for it all." The king has cleared it. It's all done "Dinner guest," who was a guest of the Royal Lodge in a bygone year," and added that the king had paid for everything personally, not taxpayer money.
The Royal Lodge, as Griffith says, "crumbles on the outside, cluttered on the inside, significantly reduced from the days of glory as the Queen's Mother's Windsor Home."
The Duke did not have the funds to keep up with the extensive upkeep of the house, so King Charles reportedly tried to shrink his brother to Frogmore Cottage, the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
However, there are no signs of movement on Andrew's side, and the Duke of York is adamant to stay in his beloved home, and there are insiders who argue that leaving can be seen as an admission of guilt as to the allegations of sexual assault made against him and later resolved in court.
One insider told Griffith that the Duke of York "just doesn't have many more friends." He barely goes out and he is nowhere to be welcomed.Having said that, the person continued to claim that Prince Andrew's source of money "must be a family, and the obvious person is the king." That is, why would a person who is not a family member want to give him money, when he does not get anything except a lot of flack?"
Griffith continued to Muse that while the king may no longer want to drag the situation out, Charles may have a personal reason to want to save the Royal Lodge, which has nothing to do with his brother. The king "has a passionate interest in architecture and conservation," so it is unlikely to be happy to see the Royal Lodge go into disrepair, but it was also the home of the Queen's mother, her grandmother, as well as Queen Elizabeth, her childhood mother.
Other theories 'sources told Griffith "Charles cannot simply betray his brother.""Queen Elizabeth was famously intimate with Prince Andrew, and perhaps Charles decided to dig deeper and ask, "What will Elizabeth do?""Only time will tell how this situation will work, but if Andrew stays at the Royal Lodge, it is possible that Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will inherit the property in the future.
