Speculation surrounds the mysterious benefactor who has provided financial support to Prince Andrew for his residence at Royal Lodge. With the King demanding his brother downsize, some believe it could be Charles himself funding the Duke of York.
As parlour games go, the subject of who has stepped in to fund Prince Andrew 's future in the white-stuccoed grandeur of Royal Lodge , Windsor, has been the only one in play for weeks.
The question isn't how he's done it, but why. Why would the monarch cut through the chaos of Andrew's finances and social life to salvage his brother's position in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal? 'He just doesn't have that many friends any more. He barely goes out, he's not that welcome anywhere,' says the source.
I would barely have believed it had the same story not been shared at another glamorous – and usually ultra-discreet – dinner table just a few days later. 'Charles has paid for it all,' revealed someone who's been a guest at Royal Lodge in years gone by. 'The King has cleared it. It's all done.' Finally there's the argument put forward by the first person to share this claim with me: Charles simply can't betray his brother.
