King 'cuts financial ties' to disgraced Prince Andrew

In what is a new low in the brothers’ relationship, Prince Andrew’s annual £1m “living allowance” has been withdrawn by Charles, according to a new book by Robert Hardman. The move will be seen as another step the monarch has taken to publicly distance himself from his younger brother following his association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Mr Hardman writes in his forthcoming book, which is being serialised in the Daily Mail, that the keeper of the privy purse was “instructed to sever his living allowance” after Andrew reportedly refused to move out of the Royal Lodge, a 30-room mansion in Windsor Great Park, into the nearby smaller Frogmore Cottage.
