'Bit harsh': Former butler to King Charles on Prince Andrew's allowance cut off. The former butler admitted it was 'harsh' but necessary as the 'monarchy has got to survive somehow'.
Prince Andrew has officially been financially cut off by the King, marking a new low in relations between the brothers.
The King, who has also long made clear his wish to see Andrew move out of his vast 30-room mansion at Windsor, Royal Lodge, has now placed the ball firmly back in his brother’s court. Among the new revelations is how Prince Harry’s determination to doggedly pursue legal action against the Home Office over its decision to withdraw his round-the-clock security when he quit royal duties has driven a wedge between father and son.
Sources say the King is not against some sort of rapprochement with the Sussexes despite the barrage of criticism he had received. But it has not been an easy process. When Harry returned to the UK in May the two did not meet. The prince was offered a room at Buckingham Palace but instead chose to stay in a hotel.
Although he no longer undertakes royal duties, has been stripped of his patronages and military associations and is effectively barred from using his HRH title in public over his association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the Duke has been determined to cling to the vestiges of his former life, most notably his home.
