Prince Andrew, who has been deprived of his royal patronages and titles, continues to enjoy several benefits from his brother King Charles.
The disgraced Duke of York has not only been chastised for his association with convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein, but he has also been accused of raping a youngster on many times, a case he eventually settled with victim Virginia Giuffre.
Following the traumatic controversy, Andrew has been isolated, but his family, particularly the king, is not necessarily opposed to him, according to Ingrid Seward, Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine.
She told The Sun that just because the world is "anti-him doesn't mean that his family is anti-him," and that she believes Andrew's family "actually believe him."
"They believe what he is saying is true, and his mother, the late Queen, believed him, but that doesn't change the fact that the world doesn't believe him," he said, adding that he made a "real mess" of the Newsnight interview.
According to the expert, Prince Andrew's world is "very narrow" because he is "quite limited as to where he can go, because he obviously doesn't want to be photographed and then subsequently criticised."
She said that Andrew "does have things to do, but they're very minimal" and that he "does have a few friends, though many fewer than before."
Meanwhile, Charles has stepped in to cover Andrew's security fee, despite the fact that he is no longer a working royal, but he is hesitant to continue paying his brother's opulent lifestyle due to the public optics.
The siblings are presently fighting over the disgraced Duke's 30-room house, Royal Lodge, since Andrew has been ordered to vacate the property and relocate to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's old home, Frogmore Cottage.
However, Andrew is keen on preserving the Lodge and defying the King's demands. As the dispute intensifies, it remains to be seen whether King Charles would withdraw his money and forcibly remove Andrew.
