PRINCE Andrew has raised enough funds to stay at Royal Lodge.
It is understood the money — more than £3million a year — has been approved by Sir Michael Stevens, the Keeper of the Privy Purse, as coming from legitimate sources.

The scandal-hit Prince, 64, received written notice earlier this year that he could no longer be financially reliant on his older brother, the King.
His Majesty urged him to follow the late Queen’s plan and move out of the 30-bed mansion and into nearby Frogmore Cottage, the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan.
But Andrew has now convinced Palace authorities he has sufficient funds to support himself, including security costing £3million annually and repairing the 19th century Grade II listed property at around £400,000 a year.
A source told The Times: “If Andrew can pay for his own upkeep with legitimate means, then it is not an issue.
“But the King’s patience has run out when it comes to funding his brother’s lifestyle in a way which does not fit his status.”
