In an updated version of his book, "Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story," author Robert Hardman reveals that King Charles has formally cut off his brother Prince Andrew's annual allowance, which is estimated at $1.3 million. This shift in financial support underscores the deteriorating relationship between the brothers, with Charles now heavily restricting royal finances in the wake of Andrew's controversial public life.
According to Robert Hardman's biography, Charles has directed the Keeper of the Privy Purse to eliminate Andrew's significant personal allowance and cease funding his extensive private security detail. A source noted that "The duke is no longer a financial burden on the King," marking a clear move towards more stringent royal financial management.
The situation has escalated as Andrew refuses to vacate the 30-room Royal Lodge estate, despite Charles' insistence on a move. This estate is considerably larger than Frogmore Cottage, which is not only smaller with only five bedrooms but had previously been renovated at great expense by Harry and Meghan.
