PRINCE Andrew is complaining that he was left no money by the Queen when she died, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.

The disgraced Duke of York, 63, has told pals he received none of his mother’s estimated £650million fortune to help him rebuild his life.

Her legacy has instead passed to King Charles, who is not by law required to pay tax on it — and is yet to give any to his siblings, fearing it may appear a tax dodge.

Andy, who has lost his taxpayer-funded guards and accommodation at Buckingham Palace in the past six months, is said to be “bewildered” at receiving no money.

He lost his public funding when he quit as a working royal over sex abuse allegations and also stands to lose Royal Lodge which he shares with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York

The Duke does not have the funds to maintain the 31-room, £30million grace-and-favour mansion in Windsor Great Park.

King Charles, 74, who yesterday met horse Noble, a gift from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, has also rejected his brother’s £32,000 claim for an Indian healer who spent a month there.

Andy’s siblings Princess Anne, 72, and Prince Edward, 59, are said to share “some resentment” at inheriting nothing from the Queen.

However, as working royals both receive handouts from the Sovereign Grant to cover costs.

Anne owns 700-acre Gatcombe Park in the Cotswolds while Edward, named Duke of Edinburgh last week, has a 150-year lease on Bagshot Park in Surrey.

A friend of Andy said: “I gather he’s checked it out and there’s no will.

"He’s in despair. He’s a member of the family, for God’s sake.

“What’s he meant to do? Go cap in hand to his older brother to keep a roof over his head?”

Although Andrew is feeling the pinch it is understood he was financially supported by the Queen.

It is understood that she made “very generous” provision for all her children during her life.
