It sounds like the king (his brother) is stripping him of his titles and kicking him out of the royal residence. But his brother (as non-king) is letting him stay on a property on an estate he owns as a private citizen, and paying him a kind of allowance out of his own “private” money.
I mean even if England dissolved the monarchy all those properties are owned by their family, not the country I thought. So you can take all his title and responsibilities if he has/had any, and he would have to go into the hard living of a billionaire. With no one in his family ever having to think about working for the rest of time. We live in different worlds.
Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, Kensington Palace, Holyrood, Hillsborough Castle and St James’ Palace are the official residences, owned by the Crown.
Sandringham, Balmoral are privately owned by the King, Gatcombe Park privately by The Princess Royal, and Highgrove by the Duchy of Cornwall.
So your saying they would walk away with a few billion instead of like 80 billion and would never have a family member need to think about working again. They “play” normal person for fun. Like if they sell it all off and move away they can each buy a few $2 million houses, have maids, gardeners, nutritionists, cooks, and vacation anywhere they want all the time and go from having $2-3 billion to having $4-5 billion in around 7 years without any effort. It’s just to much money to spend, and it constantly will be making more money than is needed
I’m pretty sure he still gets a free (“private”) dwelling while the rest of us deal with the awful housing market.

Well take their wealth. They got their labours worth of resources and spent them.

Someone hasn’t studied history.
