King Charles Is “Frustrated” with Prince Andrew Amid Mysterious Financial Support

Without the help of money from the Sovereign Grant, the cost of staying at Royal Lodge is extensive. Every year, Andrew would have to pay for the over 3 million pounds of private security on his own dime, as well as the approximately $320,000 of repairs to keep the “crumbling” estate going. While The Sunday Times previously reported that Andrew was able to raise the money that he needed, it is unknown exactly how and where he got the cash.

Royal commentator Gareth Russell told GB News that in light of Prince Andrew’s most recent security scandal, this mystery has left King Charles “frustrated.”
“There’s a great deal of mystery; whether he’s told the king or not. Certainly, the King has made it very clear what he wanted to happen,” he explained, per Express. Russell believes that it’ll only be a matter of time before King Charles looks into the source of Andrew’s newfound funds, “but at the minute, I think it’s very clear to all of us that the King is quite frustrated with the way this has played out.”
