The identity of the mysterious benefactor funding Prince Andrew's residence at Royal Lodge, Windsor, has been the subject of much speculation. While wealthy individuals from the Middle East and Russia have been considered, there are now rumors that the funding may be coming from someone closer to home, possibly King Charles himself. Multiple sources have suggested that Charles has personally cleared Andrew's bills and ensured his continued stay at Royal Lodge. The reasons behind Charles' support remain unclear, but it is speculated that he may be protecting a place that holds emotional significance for him or honoring the wishes of their late mother. The truth may never be known, but the upcoming Christmas walk on the Norfolk estate may provide some clues about the brothers' relationship.
