Does Prince Andrew nervously pace the corridors of the Royal Lodge awaiting the King's review of the family finances?

The Queen funded working royals from her Duchy of Lancaster income. She also made provision for the redundant Andrew. 

Whilst word is that Charles will finance working royals on the same terms as his mother, the funding of Andrew is not as certain. 

And the Falkland veteran's mood will not be enhanced by Princess Anne, rather than himself, flying to the South Atlantic to attend the 40th anniversary celebrations of the ending of the conflict.

The Royal Family is partly to blame for The Crown's sensational fictions, says Professor Philip Murphy of the Institute of Historical Research. He accuses Buckingham Palace of making strenuous efforts to impede historians, adding: 'In particular by obtaining an absolute exemption from the Freedom of Information Act for papers relating to the [late] sovereign and the second and third in line to the throne.'
