You didn’t read the article, by law there is no tax if the fortune passes from one monarch to another. She did have a will.

Andrew spent his inheritance when the Queen paid his $12 Million dollar settlement for the Epstein mess.

He acknowledged at least 12 illegitimate children by various mistresses, but left no legitimate children and was succeeded by his brother, James.

Charles II had a lot of kids named Fitz something.

"The monarchy had its place and time but it’s all but kaput now."

They ended the monarchy when they beheaded Charles I. Then after Oliver Cromwell died, the country fell to pieces, and begged his son Charles to come back and take the crown. England's problem is that since the Act of Settlement in 1701, they will only allow a Protestant to hold the throne. When Charles II died in 1685, he had no legitimate heirs, and his brother James II inherited the throne that year, then converted to Catholicism. He was driven from the throne in December 1688, and fled to France for the remainder of his life. His daughter Mary, who was married to William of Orange. Both were Protestants and took over the throne. Their daughter Anne inherited the throne in March 1702. She had no children that lived, and the crown passed to George I of Germany. During the First World War, the English Royal Family chose to change their last name from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, to Windsor because of anti-German sentiment in the U.K.

Without the monarchy the UK would split into at least 3 countries. That would not be good for residents of the British Isles, Europe, the USA & the world!

My brother’s not the king but I have a roof over my head. What’s Andrew’s problem? If this is “how it’s done,” then ‘twere done well, no?
C3 is not my favorite royal but as Alfred P. Doolittle said, “Roit’s roit.”

"Go cap in hand to his older brother to keep a roof over his head? "

I think they all should be stripped of their stolen wealth and forced to get jobs.
This is the same family that lived splendidly during the 1840's when Irish children (by the thousands) were starving to death.

There were so many deaths in Ireland then that the population now is still less than it was in 1840.

Good grief. Andrew knows very well that the monarch’s estate always goes to their successor. I think he’s just mad that Charles is cutting him off financially and making him move to a smaller mansion.

Where there’s a will, there’s a relative.
