The former Duke of York is in line to receive a large one-off payment and an annual stipend designed to prevent him overspending in his new life as a commoner, the Guardian understands.

One option for a relocation settlement, as the king strives for a “once and for all” solution to the problem of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, includes an initial six-figure sum to cover his move from Royal Lodge in Windsor to private accommodation in Sandringham, Norfolk.

This would be followed by an annuity, paid from Charles’s private funds, and thought to be several times Mountbatten Windsor’s £20k-a-year navy pension, sources close to the matter said. Talks on the relocation package are believed to be ongoing.

Probably about a $150k to $200K a year to live on.

The average Briton lives on a lot less than that.

Yes, but what about his ex-wife Sarah. What is she suppose to live on. Although they have been divorced for years I believe they had a friends with benefits relationship.

She seems a little old for him.

sure Charles is in charge but he really isn’t much different than his brother, both make poor choices often.

From his father, Andrew can use the surname Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. The Germans will love him.

It’s an ancient tradition of which the monarchy is largely a vestige. Paternally Charles and Andrew are of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, which gets shortened to the House of Glücksburg. So, he is Andrew Glücksburg now. He should get a house in Germany were kinky sex is normal, and sex with a 16 year old is perfectly legal. The Germans will love him.

I’m not going to lose any sleep over Andrew starving to death. Might be a big change if he has no servants though.
