Prince Andrew Has ‘Anxiety’ Amid Report King Charles Cut Him Off

Prince Andrew’s family is “really worried about him” after recent reports claim that King Charles III has financially cut off the disgraced royal.

“It’s been a hard few months for Andrew,” a source shares exclusively in the latest issue of Us Weekly, noting that his “anxiety is through the roof” as of late.

The insider noted that Andrew, 64, is “barely leaving the house” and “is generally very lost in where his life has gone.”

Earlier this month, royal author Robert Hardman released Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, which claimed that Charles, 75, revoked Andrew’s annual personal allowance. While the specific amount was not disclosed, it was reported to be roughly $1 million, according to the Daily Mail. The book also claimed that the Palace will no longer finance Andrew’s security detail, which Chalres has reportedly been funding since 2022.

Us Weekly reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment at the time.

Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie — whom he shares with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson — have continued to support their dad over the years. However, the state of his well-being is “putting a lot of stress” on the girls, the same source told Us. Their biggest concern at this venture is Andrew being forced to leave Royal Lodge, the insider added.

“Right now, it’s a sanctuary for him to be away from the world and try and get himself [feeling better],” the insider said of the Berkshire, England home where he resides. There was previous speculation that Charles would ask Andrew and Ferguson, 65, to leave the 31-room residence.

The Duke of York was stripped from his royal titles in 2019, after his connection with the late billionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein went public. That same year, a woman named Virginia Giuffre accused Andrew of sexual misconduct. He infamously sat down with British journalist Emily Maitlis for a BBC Newsnight interview discussing the allegations, which aired in November 2019.

Andrew denied knowing Giuffre during the interview. She eventually sued him for an alleged sexual assault — a case that was settled out of court. Andrew continues to publicly deny the allegations.
