The Royal Family has been going through tough times with complex equations with certain family members. Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their duties, they have left no stone unturned tarnishing the family’s image. Through docuseries, books, and interviews, they continue to do so. Prince Andrew is another member who had a sexual assault case going on him.
The newly appointed King, King Charles III is dealing with the administrative affairs while covering for his disgraceful family members. Andrew has come under the scrutiny of law and media when Virginia Guiffre charged him with sexual assault charges. The case was going on in the USA. During the ongoing legal battle, late Queen Elizabeth II striped him off his royal titles, patronages, and privileges. Now, his brother has thrown him out of Buckingham Palace. However, King Charles may oust Prince Andrew from his current Windsor residence.

Currently, King Charles is cutting unwanted expenses from private funds from the Duchy of Lancaster. The working members of the Royal Family are kept out of this budget cut. During this grant slash, King Charles will not entertain the costs of depreciating personal possessions.
Though there will be a flow of the grants, there will be a budget cut which would make it difficult for other members to keep up with the personal expenses and other expenditures. A source explained this budget cut saying, “Sophie and Edward’s daughter Lady Louise, for example, inherited Prince Philip’s carriage but Charles doesn’t feel like he should pay for the upkeep of the ponies to pull the carriage”.
But, Prince Andrew is concerned that he will also get targeted during this budget cut. He got a lease on Queen Elizabeth II’s Windsor property in 2002 which is worth $12 million in today’s times. Since then, he has been looking after the 98 acres property. So, after the fund reduction, it will be difficult for him to balance his expenses and take care of the Royal property. Apart from the Duchy of Lancaster, Andrew’s only source of income is his Navy pension.
As per Dailymail, many of his friends think that King Charles’ move is not appropriate considering Andrew’s income. One of his friends said, “It feels as though his brother wishes to evict him”. Another friend said, “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”.
However, his brother will make sure there is roof above his head, flow of income, and provide security despite the fact that he lost the privilege.

It seems every member who gets out of the Royal Family looks for prospective in America. After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle excited the Royal Family, they started their life from scratch in the United States of America. The couple are carrying out their philanthropy work and struck deals with media giants like Netflix and Spotify. Now, Prince Andrew is also eyeing living in the United States of America.
As per a source to The Sun, “Andrew is less bothered than people think about losing his titles and official royal roles”. The source also said that he wants to follow the entrepreneurial route that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex took.
The source continued, “They have managed to set up a new working life away from the Royal Family and that is something Andrew has been following very, very closely. He is very interested in the businesses and charity side of things, rather than doing anything on Netflix”.
