PRINCE Andrew’s armed royal protection cops are being replaced by private security officers who are only allowed to carry tasers. And it is believed King Charles may personally foot the bill for hi…

“Of course he should pay it himself and not burden the taxpayer because he is a private individual and carries out no public duties.“But there needs to be more accountability on who and how security is being paid overall.

“I would imagine the King could put it through the Duchy of Lancaster then be able to say it is expenses incurred as part of his duties and off-set it against tax. An insider said: “Andrew is no longer a working royal and carries out zero royal duties so there is no automatic right that the British people should pay for armed protection.“But there is no longer any justification for taxpayers to carry the cost of armed police.“It is a shattering blow to his ego. Made worse by fact if he cannot afford it he’d be cap in hand begging for money from his older brother.

Andy has suffered a string of security incidents in recent years and is consistently ranked by the public as the least popular member of the Royal Family.
