King Charles III has cut off disgraced brother Prince Andrewâs $1.3 million allowance: book
Prince Andrew’s privileged days are over.
A new book from acclaimed royal biographer Robert Hardman, titled “Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story,” claims that King Charles III has finally cut off his disgraced brother’s finances.
Per an excerpt from Daily Mail, King Charles instructed his finance director, the Keeper of the Privy Purse, to pull the plug on the Duke of York’s approximately one million dollar yearly allowance. Additionally, the King is reportedly no longer paying for Andrew’s equally pricey private security detail.
“The duke is no longer a financial burden on the King,” a source confirmed to Daily Mail.
Andrew has been making unsavory headlines for years due to his notorious friendship with Ghislaine Maxwell and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019 while imprisoned.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for grooming girls to be abused by Epstein.
Andrew was accused of sexually assaulting Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a then 17-year-old, whom he allegedly met through Epstein and Maxwell.
He denied the claims but allegedly paid a reported $12 million settlement after Giuffre sued him for sexual abuse.
Epstein’s masseuse Johanna Sjoberg also claimed that Andrew once touched her breast while they were posing together for a photo.
The final nail in the coffin was Andrew’s train-wreck BBC interview in 2019, in which he denied any memory of meeting Giuffre — despite there being photo evidence of him standing closely next to the teen with his arm around her waist.
As a result, Andrew resigned as a working member of the royal family and had his military titles and duties stripped away.
Since then, King Charles has reportedly been pressuring Andrew to move out of his grace-and-favor home and into Prince Harry’s former abode — Frogmore Cottage.
The siblings’ frayed relationship was revealed last year when Andrew hired builders to do repairs on his $46 million house, Royal Lodge, but refused to move out in case Charles seized the keys and barred Andrew from returning.
