London: King charles Has reportedly refused to pay for the services of an Indian guru hired by Prince Andrew.
According to British tabloid “The Sun”, Andrew handed over a £32,000 (Rs 32 lakh) annual invoice to the Privy Purse to pay for the Indian doctor’s services, expecting it to be signed without issue. Instead King Charles told him that he would have to pay for it himself. The Privy Purse is the personal income of the British monarch. This comes from net revenue from Duchy of Lancaster private property and an annual income of £24 million (Rs 240 crore) in the year ending March 31, 2022.
The male yogi is said to treat Andrew, 63, using chanting, massage and holistic medicine at his 30-room £30 million (Rs 300 crore) mansion and has been doing so for many years. The healer is believed to stay for a month at Andrew’s grace-and-favour home, the Royal Lodge at Windsor. His mother, the late Rani, used to sign invoices, no questions asked. The Sun quoted sources as saying: “While the Queen has always been happy to pamper her son over the years, Charles is far less inclined to fund such indulgences, particularly in an era of a survival crisis. The family is struggling and would rightly consider the tens of thousands paid to an Indian guru to provide holistic treatment to a non-working royal.
In another blow, Charles is said to be planning to cut Andrew’s £249,000 (Rs 249 lakh) annual income, which is paid by the Duchy of Lancaster. Andrew is also being evicted from the Royal Lodge and has been offered Frogmore Cottage, with Harry and Meghan being evicted instead.
Frogmore Cottage is one of the cottages that Queen Victoria gave to her private Indian secretary, Abdul Karim, who was sent from Agra to England in 1887 to become her servant.
Andrew was removed from royal duties last year following a controversy surrounding his friendship with American financier Jeffrey Epstein. gender perpetrator, and allegations of sexual assault made by Virginia Giuffre, which he denies.
