Queen Elizabeth and Prince Andrew shared a close relationship.
To encourage Andrew to downsize, Charles tried exerting financial pressure on his sibling.
Earlier this year, he slashed a 249,000 stipend that Andrew receives from the Duchy of Lancaster.
This inheritance took time to get to the Duke of York.
Back in 1993, Queen Elizabeth offered to pay personal income tax each year in exchange for this benefit.
From there, it was up to Charles to distribute the individual inheritances to their prospective beneficiaries.
Back in March, Andrew was reportedly concerned his brother wouldn’t pass anything along to him.
“What’s he meant to do?
Go cap in hand to his older brother to keep a roof over his head?”
one of Andrew’s friends lamented to theDaily Mail.
“Things are going from bad to worse.
It’s a disaster.”
