While the Buckingham Palace did not officially comment on the matter, Palace insiders were quick to refute claims that King Charles is still funding Prince Andrew.

According to The Daily Beast, the office of King Charles does not usually comment on Andrew-related intrigue” and officials told the outlet that they would not be making a statement on the “extraordinary claim”.

Sources crushed speculations over the “double bluff” and that Charles was secretly funding Andrew. They also rebuked the matter by noting that the story was merely based on “dinner party speculation” and “gossip.”

The news comes after royal biographer Robert Hardman, had revealed that king has stopped Andrew’s personal allowance and security bill, which makes a sum of approximately $5 million.

As eviction was nearing closer, Andrew was able to provide proof of sufficient funds to from “legitimate” sources to stay in the property.

The King was understood to be pressuring his disgraced brother to downgrade to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s former home, Frogmore Cottage. However, Andrew is adamant on continuing his 75-year lease and leave the 30-room mansion for his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Eugenie.
