00:03King Charles III allegedly refused to comply with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's wild request

00:08that would have set back the firm thousands of dollars.

00:12In the book The Windsor Legacy, A Royal Dynasty, author Robert Jobson claims that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

00:18once asked for $42,000 to cover the cost of live-in spiritual gurus to treat him at his home.

00:25King Charles III was allegedly horrified by the request and said no.

00:28Their mother, Queen Elizabeth II, however, previously passed the request through.

00:34The refusal from King Charles III is part of an effort to streamline the royal family's spending.

00:39The palace began to shift, not loudly, but unmistakably.

00:43His mark was there, quiet but undeniable, Robert Jobson wrote of the monarch.

00:48One senior insider reportedly told him,

00:50This isn't about financial cuts. It's about getting value for money and efficiency.

00:56Sometimes, less truly is more.

00:58However, King Charles III isn't only cutting off Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

01:03He's also reportedly making moves to stop all non-working members of the royal family

01:07from securing housing that's bankrolled by the firm.

01:10A second source told Robert Jobson,

01:12Properties will be let at commercial rates going forward and to people outside the family.

01:17Where it is in a palace environment, they will, of course, be security vetted.

01:21A third source added,

01:22The king isn't running a housing association for distant relatives.

01:26The tightening of the purse strings is an opportunity for King Charles III to strengthen the royal family as an institution.

01:32There have been the staff cutbacks.

01:34That started straight away.

01:36The buzz phrase in the household now is,

01:38Value for money,

01:39a fourth source told Robert Jobson.

01:42The cash flow shift is paying off.
