Ongoing conflict between the royal brothers King Charles III and Prince Andrew is on a high as the monarch cuts off his disaffected brother’s finances.

The claim was made by royal author Robert Hardman, who said Charles had asked the monarchy’s chief financial officer to withdraw Prince Andrew’s £1m-a-year personal allowance.

According to an updated version of Hardman’s book, “Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story,” the royal monarch additionally halted funds for of Prince Andrew seven-figure private security.

The news that King Charles has removed his brother’s finances comes after Prince Andrew refused to leave his $38 million home.

“King Charles realizes that Prince Andrew living in the Royal Lodge is not looking good,” Chard explained. “Prince Andrew’s reputation is at an all-time low. He has lost the nation’s respect. And yet his ego is at an all-time high. He sees no point. He has dug in his heels and refuses to leave the house. He loves, the prestigious Royal Lodge .”

“King Charles covered it financially. I feel he now has no alternative but to freeze this support, which in turn will freeze Prince Andrew out of the Royal Lodge.”

According to the UK Times, Andrew has lived in Royal Lodge since 2004, having signed a 75-year lease the year before. The property requires approximately $503,000 annually for maintenance.
