Royal editor Jo Alvin said: "We don't know where he's getting his other sources of income from and it sounds like he might have no choice."

Meanwhile, Royal expert Richard Eden added: "I think all of us would miss half a million pounds. Remember in the future he is going to be dependent on The King's generosity. He's going to be living at The King's private estate, Sandringham, and given an allowance by his brother The King."

He explained: "Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor seems to be kicking his heels. The disgraced royal has made it clear to the King and courtiers who sent him packing, that he is going nowhere fast.."

He added: "Why the delay? Logistics. Moving two decades of accumulated life from 30 rooms into a modest cottage takes time, close sources say. It is understood Andrew's Sandringham property isn't ready. Downsizing is complex, the Palace says."
