Mail on Sunday’s editor-at-large Charlotte Griffiths recently broke the news that King Charles secretly sent Prince Andrew funds that will enable him to pay for the necessary fees needed to refurbish Royal Lodge.
This is happening even though Charles and Andrew continue to be at loggerheads regarding the occupancy of the impressive royal property. Charles wants Andrew to move out and Andrew refuses to do so, especially since he still has decades of leash on the property.
Ingrid Seward Belies Charles Is Helping Prince Andrew Maintain His Royal Lifestyle
King Charles may be restless to get Andrew to vacate Royal Lodge, but that doesn’t mean that he’s completely senseless to his brother’s needs, or to the fact that Royal Lodge is in desperate need of repairs. Even so, Charlotte Griffiths says Charles is secretly bankrolling his brother using his personal funds.
Griffiths reported, “I have heard from multiple sources that, far from cutting Andrew off, Charles has personally cleared his errant brother’s bills for his upkeep and promised his Royal Lodge woes are taken care of, enabling him to stay there for the foreseeable future.”
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward agreed with Griffiths’ report, saying, “There’s absolutely no doubt that Charles is the one who is providing the money for Andrew because the [late] queen wouldn’t have left Andrew bereft.”
“She would’ve made a provision for him, and maybe that provision came through his elder brother as monarch,” she continued, telling Fox News Digital. “When the king dies or the queen dies, the money goes to the next monarch. Everything goes to the next monarch. So, she either would have made provisions for Andrew before she died, or she would’ve made provisions through Charles.”
“I believe that Charles is helping him,” Seward continued. “I don’t see who else would. I’m sure [Andrew’s ex-wife] Fergie would help him. I know Fergie does very well with her books, but I [can’t] imagine she would make enough to run Royal Lodge on her own.”
