MANUEL IS "BROKE."
Living on Mother's Charity, Ex-King Manuel is "broke." He is living on the generosity of his mother, the ex-Queen Amelie of Portugal, and is entirely dependent upon the charity
that she hands out to him. The new republic has stopped the former monarch's monthly allowance of £610 in order to meet the debts, amounting to £2,000,000, left by his father, King Carlos. It remains to be seen Avhether the notoriously close-fisted Due d'Orleans will assist his nephew, to maintain an adequate establishment, and it is even suggeted that Manuel's former friend, Gaby Deslys, may come to his assistance. - ':.
