King Charles draws the financial line with Prince Andrew
King Charles III does not have the best relationship with his younger brother. Now, foreign media report that some time ago, the monarch decided to cut Prince Andrew off from financial support.
The British royal family's adventures have fascinated fans worldwide for years. It is no secret that King Charles III does not have the best rapport with his brother. Prince Andrew is also one of the most controversial members of the family. For several years now, 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 royals, tried to salvage his image some time ago. Although in 2019 Queen Elizabeth II's son gave an interview to the BBC, he only made matters worse. The conversation was disastrous, and Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal and military titles.
King Charles III cut Prince Andrew off from financial support
New information has just appeared in the media regarding King Charles III's relationship with his younger brother. This comes from Robert Hardman, who is responsible for a somewhat "refreshed" version of the British monarch's biography. The piece is available on the Daily Mail website. We learn that the king cut his brother off from financial support.
Some time ago, the monarch reportedly instructed the monarchy's chief financial officer to deprive his younger brother of his annual allowance. The website mentioned reports that the estimated amount was about 1 million pounds (approximately 1.7 million Canadian dollars). He also reportedly does not cover his security expenses anymore.
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 encourage his brother to leave the family home, 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 will cost him a lot since Prince Andrew is now forced to find money to maintain his vast estate and protect valuable or historical works of art that he holds in the name of the nation. As the website emphasized, 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.
