The brothers are currently embroiled in a row over Royal Lodge, from which Charles reportedly wants to evict Andrew, who has a 75-year lease to the property and is desperately trying to hold onto it.
With the King discontinuing Andrew’s personal allowance and withdrawing funding for his security team, the prince was left facing a hefty bill. There were doubts about how Andrew would cover these costs, but it’s reported that he has received funds from an unidentified donor.
Andrew’s income has been under scrutiny since he resigned as a working royal and gave up his HRH titles in 2019 after his disastrous Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis.
The prince’s popularity plummeted following the BBC interview where he discussed his association with the late convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
Royal insiders claim Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are becoming “increasingly worried” about their father Prince Andrew and have started to visit him by turns.
On the Palace Confidential podcast, Charlotte Griffiths of the Daily Mail revealed: “Beatrice is very protective of her father, even more so than Eugenie, and I think they are quite worried about him. So they are taking it in turns to visit him like he is in an old people’s home or something.”
This comes amidst reports that suggest that the sisters are spending alternate weekends at the Royal Lodge to enhance their father’s morale, bringing their young families with them.
Andrew appears to be finding solace in family life, taking his granddaughter Sienna Mapelli Mozzi on horse-riding excursions through the park and enjoying dog walks with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and their seven canine companions.
