Prince Andrew has found the money to stay at Royal Lodge, after he was told earlier this year that he would have to vacate.
The funding the Duke of York will use comes from legitimate sources, Sir Michael Stevens, the keeper of the privy purse, has confirmed.
The Duke of York stepped down from royal life after his infamous Newsnight interview in 2019, but Queen Elizabeth II’s son still lives at Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate.
However, he was told earlier this year by his brother the King that he would need to leave and move into more affordable accommodation.
Charles suggested Andrew downsize to Frogmore Cottage, the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Just last week, the Duke was told that his “£1million-a-year” allowance would finally be axed.
An updated biography by royal commentator Robert Hardman has alleged that in recent weeks, the monarch instructed his Keeper of the Privy Purse to sever Andrew’s annual personal allowance.
He relied on the allowance to fund his living expenses and security team.
However, now, the Duke has appeared to convince Palace authorities to let him stay as he is able to cover the costs himself.
Andrew has proved that he has sufficient funds from legitimate sources to support himself.
