Prince Andrew is alleged to have threatened to 'go nuclear' against the monarchy from his retreat in Norfolk unless King Charles agrees to pay out millions for him and the wider York family, according to a source who claims the former prince is pushing fresh cash demands behind the scenes.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, has been largely absent from public life since King Charles moved to strip him of his remaining royal duties and, eventually, his long-time home at Royal Lodge almost ten months ago. The exile followed years of scandal over Andrew's association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a civil sexual assault case that he settled without admission of liability, and the subsequent collapse of his standing with the public. Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing where allegations have been made.
