The King has privately made funds available for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s repair and restoration costs on the Royal Lodge.
The Press Association understands Charles made the money available to his brother through his private income to ensure the Crown Estate was reimbursed.
On Friday, it was announced that Andrew’s lease on the Royal Lodge had been officially surrendered – with the Crown Estate receiving £1.5 million after £302,000 compensation he was entitled to was deducted from the £1.8 million in dilapidation costs.
PA understands the funds made available by the King will cover the £1.5 million payment.
Andrew was entitled to compensation because, as per the terms of his lease on the Windsor mansion, he surrendered it within the first 25 years.
