EXCLUSIVE: Prince Andrew was 'left money in late Queen's will to stay at Royal Lodge'
The Duke of York's battle to keep his home of 20 years at Royal Lodge on the Windsor Estate still remains far from over as OK! can exclusively reveal that Queen Elizabeth made provisions in her will to allow her second son to stay at the home.
Inheritance money from the late monarch has made it possible for Prince Andrew to come up with a six-figure sum to make much-needed repairs to his Royal Lodge home, OK! can reveal. “He’s been quite open about where the money has come from because he doesn’t want people to think he has come up with it through other means.”
It is thought that the costs of the improvements rose above £7.5 million. Along with the main house, the lease included the Gardener's Cottage, the Chapel Lodge, six Lodge Cottages, police security accommodation and 40 hectares of land. Although the keys to nearby Frogmore Cottage were handed to Andrew to vacate Royal Lodge on a permanent basis earlier this year, he has no plans to move in and is said to be allowing his daughter Princess Eugenie to reside there until the situation can be resolved.
