Andrew Mountbatten Windsor will reportedly receive a significant six-figure payment in addition to an ongoing annual allowance as part of a “relocation arrangement” following his departure from Royal Lodge.
The one-off payment is intended to cover his move from Windsor to a private home in Sandringham, Norfolk.
This will be followed by regular payments aimed at preventing him from “spending too much money in his new life as an ordinary citizen”, according to claims from The Guardian newspaper.
The annual payment, which is said to be privately funded by King Charles, is reportedly worth several times the value of his naval pension of £20,000 a year.
The report on the payout comes as claims suggest the decision to strip Andrew of his honors and titles was influenced by the Queen's concerns about his impact on her work with sexual abuse victims.
According to The Daily Telegraph, Camilla was shocked by Andrew's association with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein and felt the ongoing feud was getting in the way of her public duties.
The Queen has supported survivors of sexual assault and domestic abuse for years and it was recently revealed in a new book that she herself fought against a man who groped her on a train as a teenager.
And The Times reported that Andrew agreed to leave Windsor after his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson made it clear she would be leaving the property.

She will not be moving to Sandringham and will have to find her own home to live in.
The king dramatically stripped his younger brother of the titles of Prince and Duke of York on Thursday evening and a statement from Buckingham Palace stressed that both his and Camilla's thoughts were with the victims of abuse.
The statement read: “Their Majesties wish to make it clear that their thoughts and utmost condolences have been and will remain with the victims and survivors of all forms of abuse.”
It is understood the driving force behind the removal was “serious errors of judgement” by Andrew and the final decision was made by the King, with support from his wider family, including the Prince of Wales.
Earlier in October, it was announced that Andrew had agreed to use his titles but would remain a prince and retain his dukedom pending the publication of the memoirs of the late Virginia Giuffre, who had accused the former duke of sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager.
Andrew strongly denies the allegations.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the Queen was “very uncomfortable” about leading anti-abuse campaigns, including the domestic violence charity SafeLives, of which she is a patron, while Andrew remained a public figure.
The attack on Camilla in the 1960s was revealed in the book Power And The Palace: The Inside Story Of The Monarchy And 10 Downing Street by Valentine Low, a former royal reporter for The Times newspaper.
The King's actions have effectively ended Andrew's public life, and he has also given up his 30-room Royal Lodge home in Windsor and will move to the private Sandringham estate, although he may not leave until the New Year.

Sandringham in Norfolk is the venue for the traditional Christmas gathering for members of the royal family and the delay means any potential meeting with Andrew over the festive period will be avoided.
A new YouGov poll shows that while 79 percent of respondents supported the king's decision to strip Andrew of his titles, 58 percent of the 4,739 adults surveyed on Friday thought the royal family had acted too slowly in dealing with the controversy.
There have also been a series of damaging allegations in the paper, including that Andrew tried to get the Metropolitan Police to dig up dirt for a smear campaign against Ms Giuffre.
The force previously said it was investigating the allegations after the Mail on Sunday newspaper claimed Andrew gave Ms Giuffre's date of birth and national insurance number to his taxpayer-funded bodyguard in 2011 and asked him to investigate.
The Public Accounts Committee has already confirmed it is writing to the Crown Estate, effectively Andrew's landlord, and the Treasury asking for more information about the prince's lease. This caused public outrage when it emerged that he was paying a “peppercorn” rent.
Charles' actions are already paying off, as Andrew's name has been struck from the official list of the peerage, meaning his title Duke of York will no longer be officially used.
In the coming days, the King is expected to send the Royal Warrant, which affects the Duchy, to Lord Chancellor David Lammy, as well as letters patent that will formally revoke Andrew's right to use the title Prince and HRH style.
Andrew stepped down from his public duties in 2019, following his disastrous Newsnight interview about his friendship with Epstein, and as a non-working royal does not serve as a state adviser, who can stand in for the monarch when he is abroad on official travel or ill.
He remains eighth in line for the throne, but in the highly unlikely scenario that Andrew was about to become monarch, it is likely that public pressure would intervene.
But there have been calls for legislation to be introduced to prevent any chance, however remote, of him becoming king.
York Central MP Rachael Maskell said time must be found in Parliament to remove Andrew from the line to the throne, saying: “I don't think these things will take much time. They are a few small clauses in a piece of legislation.”
Downing Street said there are no plans for changes in the law, when asked whether it could make it easier to strip peerages in the future or remove Andrew from the line of succession.
The former duke had an ironclad lease on his home in the Royal Lodge and only after negotiations with the king's representatives did he agree on Thursday to terminate the lease, which still had more than 50 years to run.
It has been reported that Andrew will not be moving to Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate, the property favored by the late Queen and her husband, the late Duke of Edinburgh, who preferred the cozy surroundings to the main house of Sandringham House.
But there are a number of other properties available, ranging from Park House, the birthplace and childhood home of Diana, Princess of Wales; to York Cottage, where King George V lived before becoming monarch.
