Andrew warned against using King's funds for police court case
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been told not to use King Charles' annual stipend for his legal action.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the King's younger brother, is challenging warrants Thames Valley Police used to search his homes. The police acted after his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office over allegations he shared government documents with Jeffrey Epstein.
A Palace source confirmed Mountbatten-Windsor receives an annual stipend from Charles' private funds but made clear this money cannot fund his legal fight. The Palace said his legal defence is his own matter, and Buckingham Palace takes no role in his strategy.
A High Court hearing is scheduled for Thursday. Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested in February on his 66th birthday.

Why it mattersThe King is distancing himself from Andrew's legal action at a sensitive moment. It signals the royal family will not bankroll his fight against police.
AustraliaNo direct Australian effect, but the case reflects how the British royals handle scandal and legal exposure.
