Prince Andrew Defies King Charles, Claims He Can Fund Own Security
- Prince Andrew has refused to leave Royal Lodge despite King Charles' suggestions.
- King Charles has removed Andrew's annual allowance, which he relied on for security and expenses.
- Andrew insists he can fund his own security and sees no reason to move.
Prince Andrew is reportedly refusing to move from Royal Lodge despite suggestions from King Charles that he downsize to Frogmore Cottage. Following King Charles' removal of the Duke's £1 million annual allowance, which had been used for living expenses and security, Andrew maintains he has sufficient funds to cover his security costs, which are said to be substantial. Royal sources suggest this situation highlights a longstanding feud between the brothers, with King Charles believed to be ending Andrew's financial support. Reports indicate that the late Queen Elizabeth II had plans to relocate Andrew had she lived longer, as her primary concern was financial sustainability. As of now, he continues to reside at Royal Lodge with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and no successors to this residence appear to be in the pipeline.
