After years of dragging the royal family’s good name into unprecedented disrepute, Prince Andrew is on his last legs. Despite accusations of sexual abuse towards a teenage girl in the 2000s and settling with her out of court using the Queen’s money last year, the Duke of York has managed to grimly cling to a life of luxury afforded to him by the Crown.
Many courtiers agree that it was only his late mother’s love for Andrew, 63 – commonly accepted to have been her favourite child – that kept him ensconced in a royal home with a handsome allowance and police protection worth $5.3 million a year. But now, there’s a new monarch on the block!
YORKS KICKED OUT
King Charles, who has inherited all royal property including Windsor Castle and its surrounding estate, is reportedly considering removing his younger brother from the $53 million Royal Lodge, where he lives with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York – despite Andrew signing a 75-year lease on the property in 2003. He is paid $423,000 annually by private funds from the Duchy of Lancaster – the monarch’s private estate – which largely goes towards his 30-room mansion’s upkeep.
