King Charles Cuts Off Prince Andrew's Allowance

King Charles has officially cut off Prince Andrew's annual allowance, believed to be around £1 million, marking a significant deterioration in their relationship. This decision, reported in an updated biography by royal commentator Robert Hardman, follows Andrew's attempts to challenge the King's authority. Additionally, the King has ended funding for Andrew's private security detail, indicating a desire for his brother to vacate the Royal Lodge, which Andrew shares with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. Sources suggest that Queen Elizabeth II would have compelled Andrew to downsize had she lived longer, as tensions surrounding his financial and living situation have escalated. The King reportedly provided Andrew with two options: to find a way to self-fund or relocate to a smaller residence like Frogmore Cottage. This move reflects Charles's determination to resolve the ongoing 'Andrew issue' in his reign.
