To think Andrew MB is far from skint?

Why do so many people think this? I have read numerous comments on here over the past week all suggesting that Andrew is on the verge of signing on for Universal Credit. Comments asking how much his pension is because he’ll be living on that as his only income, comments wondering how he can afford a car to pick him up from the station - even some musing if he qualifies for legal aid!

The man is the son of a queen and grandson of a king. Do people really think he hasn’t been left a fortune in trusts? Regardless of what happens with his arrest, he’ll always have more money than most of us could dream of. I don’t understand why so many people think he’s skint.

AMB will be dead before he is convicted. He is 66 now so yep, by the time its all done he will be gone..swept under the monarch carpet. Tower of London he should be in and a beheading. 🤷🏼‍♀️. I would hang,draw and quarter him. Then dice him up. Horrible man.

I reckon he probably had a small fortune, but he's spent an absolute fortune and so have his wife and daughters. Decades of living well beyond their means.
He's not going to be signing on but I bet his debts are larger than his assets.

He's obviously not skint, but compared to the lifestyle he thinks he's entitled to, he may well be.

He is skint in thay mysterious way that rich people manage to go broke and lose everything yet still have mansions and Teslas and travel 1st class.

Then there is normal person skint which involves food banks and homlessness.

I assume he was picked up by protection officers, that’s why he was picked up.
I’d think a lot of Royal money goes with the crown, so the line of succession.

The Yorks are not my definition of broke - doesn't SF own a £12 million flat in London? She should be made to sell it and refund the woman whose chalet she bought and didn't pay the agreed sum for!

What they mean is that they are too 'broke' to carry on spending indiscriminately and can't keep up with their richer friends. Shouldn't be a problem for either of the Yorks now, seeing as they no longer have any friends.

I don’t think he’s skint. I mean his life has changed drastically but he’s not skint. I’m not bothered about how he’s going to afford his weekly shop, tbh, because in all honesty I would not be the least bit surprised if he’s dead within the year.
