But Her Majesty is no longer in charge and Charles has made a series of decisions against Andrew. The source spilled, “While the Queen was always happy to indulge her son over the years, Charles is far less inclined to fund such indulgences particularly in an era of a cost-of-living crisis.”

Andrew was said to be the queen’s favorite child and reportedly helped him pay last year’s out of court settlement to a woman who accused him of sexual assault on the three occasions when she was a minor.

The source noted, “Families are struggling and would rightly balk at the idea of tens of thousands paid to an Indian guru to provide holistic treatment to a non-working royal living in his grace and favor mansion. This time the King saw the bill for the healer submitted by Andrew to the Privy Purse and thought his brother was having a laugh.”

The source added, “In the past, these types of expenses would be signed off no questions but that is not the climate in the new era.” The new era being Charles’ regency, one in which he reportedly is desperate to cut costs when and where he can.
