Why King Charles won’t fully cut off Prince Andrew? Source

Former Prince Andrew will continue to live a protected life with financial support, not because of kindness or forgiveness, but because King Charles fears his disgraced brother could become a risk to the monarchy if fully cut off, sources claim.

As Andrew has lost his HRH style, the Duke of York title, and his long-time home at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park but according to a report by Radaronline.com, Charles has set a clear limit to how far his punishment will go.

A royal insider claims the decision is made in "exchange for shutting him up" noting that the King believes his younger brother cannot survive without financial support as Andrew is “incapable of surviving by himself.”

"If Charles were to cut Andrew off financially and deny him a basic level of comfort, Andrew would be left with very few options. In that scenario, the only currency he would have left would be his insider knowledge of the royal family – and that is precisely what the King is determined to avoid. Aside from that, he feels Andrew is incapable of surviving by himself."

Another source claimed his upbringing left him “with no real purpose or skills.”

"Labeling Andrew as entitled rather misses the deeper issue," the insider noted. "He was brought up in a world where money, purpose, and independence were never required of him."

"Now that the system has collapsed, he is left without a role, without leverage, and without anyone willing to be publicly associated with him. The King doesn't really have another option but to keep him out of sight, with financial support as the exchange for shutting him up and not writing a memoir or appearing on TV."
