King Charles paid Andrew’s £1.5mil repair bill for former Windsor mansion
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported5m ago
King Charles III privately loaned his younger brother, Prince Andrew, £1.5 million (approximately $2.8 million AUD or $2 million USD) from his private income. The funds were used to cover unpaid repair bills for Royal Lodge in Windsor, which formerly served as the official country residence for Prince Andrew and his family.
The financial intervention by the monarch was executed to ensure that the Crown Estate received its required payments on time. Prince Andrew, referred to in reports as a disgraced former prince, required the private loan to settle the substantial maintenance and repair costs associated with the Windsor property.
