Sigh! Not a huge surprise really!
No end to it ! When will it stop ?
Andrew may have HAD money from whatever source, but when he himself lived up to his income and beyond, and with an ex wife who has very expensive tastes and lifestyle, it may all have now disappeared. Of course he was always known for having generous and very wealthy friends as well.
I dont think that Andrew was extravagant till he married Sarah. But he developed expensive tastes with her and they boht have mixed with dubious poeple to keep up their tastes
Why would he give her a dress allowance? She is not his wife... and she earns in her own rightAnd yet Sarah wears the same outfits (and shoes and purses!) over and over again. I don’t think Andrew gives her much of a dress allowance.
The Duke of York was seen around Windsor today, December 3*
Is this all he can do with his time? He might have taken a back seat from his royal duties, but surely there must be something more productive he could be doing.
Looking through this thread he has had ONE engagement this year - and that was the funeral of his father. Unless he attended August's christening.
The Duke of York has begun removing his profiles from social media in response to the announcement last week that he would no longer style himself “His Royal Highness”.
His Twitter account @TheDukeofYork was deleted yesterday and his Instagram account @hrhthedukeofyork has been made private.

My city of York has developed an interest in how titles are assigned and in how they can be removed from people whose title takes the name of a geographical location. In 1917, Parliament enacted the Titles Deprivation Act to remove a title for the act of treason. Will the Leader of the House make time to debate new legislation that empowers local people to determine the circumstances in which titles are awarded and removed, and reflect on the geographical location from which titles are taken? York has a global reputation not just for its rich cultural heritage, but for the social values it espouses.

The Titles Deprivation Act 1917 is an extremely interesting Act of Parliament. An unusual process was adopted: rather than simply attainting the dukes who were on the wrong side of the first world war, it was decided to use classification. That was a successful means of legislating, although I understand that the successors to the dukes who were deprived could petition to have their titles restored if they so wished. As regards the award of territorial designations, that is a matter for the sovereign.
I know some tabloid reporters love this stuff, but it all seems a bit pointless for them to print it. Does anyone really care whether Prince Andrew uses Apple earphones, any other brand of earphones, or no earphones at all?! I'm sure their reporters/photographers could find something more useful to look into!
