King Charles severs Andrew's million-pound lifeline
King Charles III does not have the best relationship with his younger brother. Recent foreign media reports indicate that the monarch decided to cut off Prince Andrew from financial support some time ago.
The British royal family's adventures have captivated fans worldwide for years. It is no secret that King Charles III does not have the best relationship with his brother. Prince Andrew is also one of the most controversial members of the renowned family. For quite a few years, he has been discussed mainly in the context of his connections with Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of pedophilia and trafficking.
The father of Beatrice and Eugenie, often referred to as the "black sheep" among the royals, tried to restore his image some time ago. Although in 2019, Queen Elizabeth II's son gave an interview to the BBC, it only led to further damage. The conversation was disastrous, and Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal and military titles.
King Charles III cut Prince Andrew off from financial sources
New information has just surfaced in the media regarding King Charles III's relationship with his younger brother. This information comes from Robert Hardman, who has authored a somewhat "refreshed" version of the British monarch's autobiography. The piece is available on the Daily Mail website. We learn that the king cut his brother off from financial sources.
Some time ago, the monarch reportedly instructed the monarchy's chief financial officer to deprive his younger brother of his annual allowance. The mentioned website reports that its estimated amount was about 1 million pounds (approximately 1.2 million dollars). He reportedly no longer pays for his brother's security either.
A source quoted by the Daily Mail states that the prince is no longer a financial burden on the king.
Prince Andrew's financial troubles
Hardman points out that this way, the king wants to pressure his brother to leave the family home, the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park. At one point, Prince Andrew rejected the idea suggested by royal advisors to move to nearby Frogmore Cottage (formerly inhabited by Harry and Meghan Markle).
According to the writer, such a move would cost him greatly since Prince Andrew was forced to find money to maintain not only his vast estate but also the protection of valuable or historical works of art that he held in the name of the nation. As the website highlighted, the king closely monitors his younger brother's actions.
An informant quoted by the Daily Mail adds that if he manages to find the money, that will be his business.
