In contrast, it has been suggested this weekend that Prince Andrew, who celebrated his 63rd birthday this week, has less reason to be in a good mood after the Daily Mail reported that he fears his older brother, King Charles, trying to force him to give up his £30 million home in Windsor.

The newspaper reported that the Duke of York told friends that it is unlikely that he would be able to keep up with the house without receiving hundreds of thousands of pounds sterling every year from the king.

Instead, he relied on the generosity of his late mother, who supported him with private funds from the Duchy of Lancaster. The sum has been reported to have been approximately £249,000 per year.

However, where the duke may raise concerns that he will run out of money from the Lancaster dukedom, others have argued that he would have received a not insignificant inheritance from his parents, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.

Meanwhile, the Mail on Sunday reported today that Andrew’s ex-wife Fergie, 63, who moved into a £4.25m Belgravia flat last year, would not be able to sell the luxury flat without the written consent of their daughters.

The deeds also reveal that the Duchess, who once described herself as “continually on the verge of bankruptcy”, paid £4.25m without the need for a mortgage.

A legal source told the newspaper the restriction on the deed suggested his daughters may have hoarded the funds.

The source further explained: ‘But it could also mean that whoever bought the property wants to make sure their daughters ultimately benefit from it.

“Usually a restriction like this is needed to prevent scammers from taking advantage of vulnerable elderly relatives and selling their home when they’re in a nursing home, but I don’t think that would apply in this case.”

A source close to the Duchess declined to comment on what they described as a “private matter”, however they pointed to Fergie’s success with the releases of her novels as a possible explanation for the financial fortunes.

The source said: “She’s bought it a lot as savings for the girls, so I’m not at all surprised she’s put that kind of provision in.”
