The King's brother has found alternative funding to stay at Royal Lodge after his £1million allowance was axed

Prince Andrew has been torn to shreds by a woman who claims she is "missing millions" from the Duke of York.

A French socialite voiced her fury at Prince Andrew after he mysteriously found finances to stay at Royal Lodge, after King Charles told him that he would have to downsize to Frogmore Cottage earlier this year.


Isabelle de Rouvre claimed that she lost more than £3million to Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson in a dispute over the sale of a luxury ski chalet.

She told The Mail on Sunday: "I am missing millions as a result of this man."

She added: "I reduced what he owed me because... they told me he did not have the money.

"I was left with little choice.

"Now he is saying he has plenty of finances but where does this money now come from?

"They were apparently so poor before they had to pay me, and now they are so rich."

It comes after King Charles told Andrew that his "£1million-a-year" allowance would finally be axed.

Prince Andrew has relied on funding from King Charles since he stepped down from royal life after his infamous Newsnight interview in 2019 but has now found alternative financing.

However, this week it was confirmed by the keeper of the privy purse, Sir Micheal Stevens, that the money the Duke of York will use to stay at Royal Lodge comes from legitimate sources.

Despite not officially being working royals, Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson still reside at Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, fuelling a feud between the Duke and King Charles.

The former home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Frogmore Cottage, was suggested as a suitable replacement after Andrew lost his right to taxpayer-funded security after being stripped of his royal duties.

Royal biographer Robert Hardman revealed that his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, suggested evicting the prince, and she would have done so if she had lived another year.

Government politicians have also demanded to know the Duke's sources of funding.

Leeds MP Alex Sobel said: "Full disclosure of these funding arrangements is vital to uphold the reputation of the Royal Family."
