King Charles made a statement regarding his younger brother’s arrest, saying he “learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.”

“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course,” the king said, adding that he would not be commenting further amid the investigation into his brother, and that the rest of the royal family would “continue in our duty and service to you all.”

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s net worth was previously reported to be $3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. However, the site has not reported his current net worth.

When his titles were stripped, The Guardian reported that his only public stream of income was from his pension he gets from from his service in the navy between 1979 and 2001, which amounted to £20,000 a year. E! News also reported that Charles would not be stripping his brother of his funds. The BBC shortly reported after that Andrew was paid tens of thousands of pounds by a British businessman linked to a wealth management company which ripped off pension savers.

It’s estimated that Andrew had received £13M ($17.5M) at today’s prices in official payments for his work as a royal in the four decades leading up to his infamous 2019 BBC Interview. Queen Elizabeth also reportedly gave Andrew an allowance of £250K ($336K) annually, but he has not received money following her death.

The Daily Mail reported that he helped Greek and Swiss firms who were bidding for large contracts in Kazakhstan in 2011 was to have been paid a commission of 1%, or £3.85M ($5.1M), for helping broker a successful deal, according to the reports.

While his luxurious lifestyle was often questioned by the public and media, his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein might have added some money to his bank. The convicted sex offender had given £15K ($20K) to Sarah Ferguson to reduce some of her debts.

Right before his arrest, royal author Robert Hardman told The Daily Telegraph that the tensions between King Charles and his brother has left Andrew in a “poverty-stricken exile.”

“There was a time I think people expected, when Charles came to the throne, that he was going to be very tough on Andrew, he was going to kick him out of the house,” he said. “Charles was pretty charitable certainly for the first couple of years but the more pig-headed Andrew’s been about moving out of that house … then it turns out he hasn’t been telling the truth about his relationship with Epstein, it’s caused irreparable damage”.

“Up until the summer, Andrew’s view was, ‘I’ve got a lease on the house, I’m going to stay there and pursue private business activities and pay my own way’,” the author observed. “Now it turns out that he wasn’t strictly true about Epstein so the King has taken all his titles, all his business deals have fallen apart, the guy’s got no money, he can’t keep the house standing.

While it isn’t public knowledge of what Prince Andrew will be leaving his daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, they will not be inheriting his coveted Royal Lodge following his eviction.

“[This] would only have been possible while the lease remained in place,”  property expert Elliot Castle said. “Once that lease is surrendered or terminated, there is nothing to pass on. From a property standpoint, that closes the door entirely. Royal Lodge would revert fully to the Crown Estate, with no residual claim for Andrew or his daughters.”

A source told RadarOnline: “Neither princess needs Royal Lodge for housing, but losing a $40million asset changes the shape of their futures,” adding, “They feel they are paying the price for decisions they did not make. The anger is real, and it is directed squarely at how their father’s scandal keeps shrinking their options.
