King Charles cuts off Prince Andrew's finances as royal family feud erupts

There's a major question over whether or not King Charles will allow Prince Andrew to attend the royal family Christmas celebration. It comes after it was revealed the King and his brother are no longer on speaking terms.

While Andrew was at the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church last Christmas Day, his chances for an invitation aren't looking as good this year. The brothers are reportedly no longer on speaking terms after the King cut off his brother financially, with a palace insider confirming "the Duke is no longer a financial burden on the King".

Royal author Robert Hardman has revealed in an updated edition of his biography Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story. that the King has requested the royal treasurer to end the Duke of York's security funding. He has also stopped Andrew's almost $2m a year allowance.

It comes after news Charles and Andrew were locked in a feud over the Royal Lodge, the 30-bedroom house that Andrew currently lives in with ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York. The King has been urging Andrew to move to the smaller Frogmore Cottage, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle used to live.

According to The Times, Andrew has 'enough money from legitimate sources' to allow him to stay at Royal Lodge and pay for its upkeep requirements.

"Charles realised that Andrew's association with [Jeffrey] Epstein made him a loose cannon," former royal correspondent Stephen Bates told The Times of the brothers' relationship. "The allegations about his behaviour were never successfully quelled and made him damaged goods."

Prince William will skip Christmas if this person is there

It comes after it was revealed Prince William will skip the royal family Christmas if Queen Camilla's son, Tom Parker Bowles, attends.

The Daily Beast reports the Prince of Wales and his family don’t usually attend the Christmas Day lunch at Sandringham and are “unlikely to attend” this year "especially" if Queen Camilla’s son Tom Parker Bowles is invited.
