KING Charles could pull some of Prince Andrew’s funding for security at his 30-room mansion, sources say.
The disgraced Duke has this week come under fire again after shocking claims were made about him in bombshell files.
Now, insiders have claimed Andrew will have to fund the multi-million pound security costs at the sprawling Royal Lodge himself if he wants to stay.
The massive £30million home was given to him on a long-term lease by the Queen Mother.
But last year it was alleged the Prince had been asked to leave, but was refusing to go.
Sources have now told the Telegraph King Charles is said to be planning to take away his brother’s private security if he refuses to leave the mansion.
Insiders said to avoid being forced out, Andrew would have to cough up the cash to maintain security and upkeep.
The claims come after more than 1,000 pages of documents including emails, depositions and legal papers spanning the 2010s were made public by US judge Loretta Preska this week.
It comes as…
- Prince Andrew has been named again in more unsealed court documents about Epstein and his high-profile pals
- He and Sarah Ferguson are claimed to have stayed at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, where Andrew had “daily massages”
- Bill Clinton was named 50 times in the new documents
- Ghislaine Maxwell revealed there was an Andrew ‘puppet’ after he was accused of using it to grope a young woman in 2001
- Andrew allegedly had an “underage orgy” while staying on Epstein’s private island
- Keir Starmer has led calls to reopen a criminal investigation into the Duke of York in light of the bombshell files
- A model took her own life just two years after being flown to Epstein’s paedo island and joining a “dehumanising” cult
The documents are part of the 2015 lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.
Details of the lurid sex allegations made against convicted paedophile Epstein and Maxwell are frequent, as are shocking claims about Andrew.
They include his alleged involvement in an “underage orgy” while staying on Epstein’s private island and a claim that he groped a woman’s breast with a puppet while she sat in his lap like “Santa”.
And they claim an unnamed Jane Doe – understood to be his widely known accuser Virginia Giuffre – was “forced” by convicted sex offender Epstein to “have sexual relations” with the Duke.
Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Stephen Hawking and Donald Trump are among the many high-profile figures also named in the documents, which include previous testimony by Maxwell and Giuffre.
The files shed further light on how Epstein would rub shoulders with the rich and famous – openly bragging about celebs he would claim to know.
