Prince Andrew didn’t receive inheritance from the Queen after her death – details
Prince Andrew had already received his sizable inheritance by the time of his mother’s passing in September 2022, according to a new book by acclaimed royal biographer Robert Hardman.
Hardman’s new book, Charles III: New King, New Court, The Inside Story, was released on Thursday and delved deeper into the Duke’s financial standing after he was stripped of his title and thus, any taxpayer funding.
In the book, which was serialised in the MailOnline, the royal expert explained that Andrew’s brother, King Charles III, offered to move him out of his home at the Royal Lodge to Frogmore Cottage, where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex lived before moving to the US, to save money on security.
The Cottage is a far cry from the Lodge; Andrew would be downsizing from a 30-room home to a five-bedroom one.
According to Hardman, the King would stop paying Andrew’s living allowance if he refused the offer to move; Andrew “had assured the Palace that he would be able to meet all these bills through a combination of money left him by the Queen and his own commercial activities”.
Royal insiders told Hardman, “If he can find the money, then that is up to him, but if not, he will find that the King does not have unlimited patience.”
