Prince Andrew has been handed a lifeline in his row over Frogmore Cottage, after an anonymous benefactor offered to pay £3m towards his living costs every year
Prince Andrew was initially offered the 5,089 sq ft Frogmore Cottage in March 2023, as a swap for his lease on the grand thirty-room Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park. However, the Duke of York has consistently declined to move, despite his brother, King Charles, discontinuing his million-pound-a-year living allowance and ceasing payment for his private security team.
Bronte suspects Andrew's triumph could be fleeting: "I'd say he's won the battle... but has he won the war long term? Well, depends on who this person is that's paying." Among his significant outgoings, Prince Andrew settled a civil sexual assault case in the US brought by Virginia Giuffre for an undisclosed sum, speculated to be between £7.5m and £12m. The Prince used to receive an estimated £250,000 annually, including office running costs, when he was a "working Royal."
