Andrew-Mountbatten Windsor to receive reduced state pension: report
After losing royal titles last year, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is expected to receive another financial setback
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will get a reduced state pension when he turns 66 next month, GB News reported citing reports on Friday.
According to the outlet, the younger brother of King Charles III, who lost his royal titles over links to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein late last year, will celebrate his 66th birthday on February 19.
It said 66 is the current age at which one can receive their state pension in the UK.
"The timing proves fortunate compared to many of his contemporaries, as the qualifying age rises to 67 from April 2026 for anyone born after April 1960," wrote GB News.
"However, Andrew faces a reduced payout. Claimants require 35 years of National Insurance contributions to receive the maximum weekly sum of £230.25," the report said.
Citing Daily Mail, the report said, with only 22 years of service in the Royal Navy to his name, Andrew falls considerably short of this threshold, meaning he cannot expect the full entitlement should he choose to claim.
The report added that Andrew is expected to receive approximately £150 per week rather than the full amount. His annual entitlement works out to roughly £9,000.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor also faces eviction from Royal Lodge, which he has shared with former wife Sarah Ferguson for decades.
Sarah lost his Duchess of York title after Andrew surrendered his Duke of York title in October 2025.
According to multiple reports, Sarah, the mother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, is expected to live separately from Andrew once they leave Royal Lodge.
