Ex-Prince Andrew’s wealthy friends believe ‘he has been treated appallingly,’ per source
Andrew, 66, has reportedly settled into a new routine at Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk after leaving Royal Lodge in Windsor. Despite losing his royal status, he reportedly remains close to friends he has known for decades.
According to a source, these longstanding friendships have helped him maintain a comfortable social life during this difficult time.
“He has managed to preserve a surprisingly enjoyable lifestyle, and there are still plenty of people from his old social circle who have absolutely no intention of abandoning him simply because he has become such a controversial figure,” the insider told RadarOnline.
According to the source, people keep inviting Andrew to private gatherings, and he regularly spends time with friends who have stood by him. The insider claimed that some members of Andrew’s longstanding social circle have remained loyal despite the negative attention surrounding him.
“These are people who have known him for decades, who move in the same circles and who remain personally devoted to him regardless of what the rest of the country might think,” the source said.
The report also says that some of Andrew’s wealthy acquaintances believe the response to the former prince has gone too far. The insider claimed, “Some of them genuinely believe” that the public treated him appallingly and condemned critics for blowing the entire situation enormously out of proportion.
The source acknowledged that this view does not resolve the questions surrounding Andrew’s conduct or the scrutiny he continues to face. Instead, it explained why some friends have chosen to maintain their relationships with him. “Whether that judgment is justified is another matter entirely, but it helps explain why they have remained so supportive,” the insider added.
