It was recently confirmed that the King will allow the Duke of York to remain at his Royal Lodge home on the Windsor Estate, rather than push for him to relocate to a smaller residence.
Despite Andrew, 63, being granted a “stay of execution”, it is understood he will be footing all the bills and paying for essential repairs.
It also emerged that the Duke - who's annual £250,000 handout was stopped - is being helped by his ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York.The pair - who separated in 1992 and finalised their divorce in 1996 - remain incredibly close and still live together when in Windsor.The news of Andrew's stay at the home came after ongoing reports that King Charles had hoped to downsize the number of properties that make up the royal portfolio.
It was reportedly suggested that Prince Andrew could move into the slightly smaller Frogmore Cottage - the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan.
