MP Norman Baker added that the £32,000 bill could have cost money to the UK taxpayer if it was deductible as an expense.

He said: "This is an outrageous use of effectively and indirectly taxpayers' money."

Andrew was stripped of his patronages and royal roles last year by the Queen, while Charles has now removed his taxpayer-funded security and withdrawn his use of an office and bedroom in Buckingham Palace.

His annual £249,000 grant is also set to be slashed from next month, meaning he may be forced out of Royal Lodge, his £30million home in Windsor Great Park.

Andrew has lived there for 20 years with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, with whom he remains close despite their divorce in 1996.

Without his annual subsidy it is thought Andrew will struggle to afford the upkeep on the property, which is his responsibility due to the lease agreement.

However Fergie has also offered to support him, as she is independently wealthy thanks to her businesses and book deals.

The couple have two daughters together, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, with the latter annoucing earlier this year she is expecting her second child.
