Her visit comes after the Duke of York faced calls to ‘come clean’ and reveal the secret sources of funding that are bankrolling his stay at Royal Lodge. In the last month, Princess Beatrice has made several visits to the region, and younger sister Eugenie has also attended events there.

The state of the Duke of York's 30-room Windsor Royal Lodge comes just days after it emerged King Charles had severed his beleaguered younger brother's annual personal allowance, believed to be £1 million. Andrew, 64, who now lives in the £30 million property with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, signed a 75-year lease with the Crown Estate when he moved in, making a £1million initial payment.

The agreement included a notional rent of £260,000 a year. Andrew, who was the late Queen's youngest son, has spent nearly £7million carrying out extensive renovations and repairs to the property. The Duke of York has refused all requests by his brother to move into the smaller Frogmore Cottage.
