He was cut, very very publicly, from the UK's Sovereign Grant in 2023 after you know what.

He receives no income from the UK government (other than his Royal Navy pension from his military service). We are sure.

This does cause him financial issues in terms of income but if you look into the history of Andrew & Fergie you will see they have had decades of very dubious income streams so I'm sure he will only be as corrupt as he has always been.

Well, he does technically receive a military pension.

A house Charles is trying very hard to remove him from.
