Prince Andrew has seen his financial support from his brother King Charles cut off, the Daily Mail newspaper reports.
Andrew, who was second in line to the British throne when he was born in 1960, has seen his standing fall dramatically since his non-apology for his former friendship with Jeffrey Epstein emerged in a BBC interview in 2019.
The resulting outrage saw him stripped of military titles and patronages, and forced to step back from public life. However, he has continued to live in a royal home west of London and receive a £1million/year ($1.3million/year) allowance from the royal purse.
Now, the Daily Mail newspaper reports that King Charles has broken his brother’s financial ties, and instructed royal accountants to cease payments of this allowance.

The Mail quotes an updated biography by royal author Robert Hardman, who writes that Andrew “is no longer a financial burden on the King.”
The Times of London reports the same story, adding that Buckingham Palace and the Crown Estate declined to comment, while Andrew could not be reached for comment.
