    There’s no way he’s getting 100M pounds a year in stipend, the King doesn’t even have that kind of money privately accessible. King Charles has probably got a couple of billion dollars that he privately controls separately from the crown, but the vast majority of that is tied up in real estate and jewels, and while the real estate does generate some yearly income, it’s on the order of tens of millions. The jewels generate no revenue.

    Now, that being said, Andrew is probably going to get north of a million dollars a year, so it’s not going to be anything like a pauper’s life. However, it may come with strings attached that keep him from showing his face in public, so it’s unlikely we’ll see him jet-setting around the world with that money. Most of it will likely be spent on having help, a maid and a cook and butler so he never needs to actually do anything. His own private retirement home/jail.

      As punishment for his evil Andrew should be forced to eat all the jewels until he dies.

      It’ll either increase or decrease their value once they yank them out of him but it’ll be fascinating to find out which.
