Disgraced Prince Andrew Lucky To Not Be Left "Homeless or Penniless," According to Insiders 

Andrew could have been be left out on the street.

Ever since Prince Andrew was forced to step down from duties as a working member of the Royal Family, after his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and allegations made that he sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre, the Royal Family has pushed him further and further away. And, because he is no longer a working member of the Royal Family, he is being financially supported privately by the family's Duchy. In December it was revealed that his brother, King Charles, was even evicting him out of his office in Kensington Palace.  "Any presence at the palace is officially over," a source told The Sun at the time. "The King has made it clear. He isn't a working royal. He's on his own." Now, according to new reports, the disgraced prince is fuming to friends that he is going to be left homeless and penniless.

"Andrew and Sarah are distraught they have been given such short notice. The Queen died only a few months ago," a source told Sun on Sunday. "He's not being explicitly kicked out but it's expected that he won't be able to afford the maintenance. Royal Lodge has a swimming pool, 98 acres of land and is already in need of some repair," a source said.

However, another source said that it is nothing personal. "This is about Charles telling Andrew he can use his own money to pay for things. The same goes for other ­members of the family, such as Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. And while there is leniency with working members of the family, who have offices funded by the Sovereign Grant, there have been other examples."
