Speaking on Channel 5’s : Where Did All the Money Go?, Wilkinson claimed, as per the : “Charles knows it’s a bad look for lots of money to be spent on Andrew.

“He doesn’t like Andrew being seen out looking happy, driving about, waving at people, having an excellent life.”

The commentator added that by cutting Andrew’s allowance, he wanted to warn him to “go fund it himself”.

Mr Wilksinson said: “So by removing the funding that he gives him, the annual stipend that he would receive, and the money that he would pay for the security, that puts more pressure on Andrew.

“So Charles has said ‘okay, go fund it yourself’.”

Buckingham Palace did not say where Andrew’s funding has come from. The duke’s only official income is a Royal Navy Pension, which amounts to about £20,000 a year.

The Palace did not comment on the backlash Andrew’s new funding received.
