Financial support revoked
King Charles has reportedly stopped the yearly £1million allowance to Prince Andrew, following in the footsteps of Harry and Meghan Markle. The move comes as the Duke of York is said to have dwindled in his royal responsibilities, prompting the King to take action.
Expert's opinion
Royal author Hugo Vickers shared insights on the decision, highlighting Andrew's absence from royal duties and public life. Vickers stated that the King's move was not out of spite but rather a strategic allocation of funds to active members of the Royal Family who contribute to public duties.
Financial independence
Since being embroiled in scandal and allegations, Prince Andrew has not received any income and has relied on his brother for financial support. With the recent cut-off, questions arise about Andrew's future financial status and living arrangements.
Speculations and potential outcomes
Speculations suggest that Andrew may have to vacate Royal Lodge due to the cessation of his security detail. The King has reportedly given Andrew two options: self-fund his security and household expenses or relocate to more suitable accommodation, akin to Harry and Meghan's former residence, Frogmore Cottage.
Ongoing challenges
Despite settling a case with accuser Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew continues to be embroiled in legal battles and faces uncertainties about his financial future. The Duke's refusal to move to Frogmore Cottage adds complexity to his current situation.
