Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are said to be "distraught" over fears they might be "evicted" from their £30million Windsor mansion.
The claims emerged as King Charles is set to slash the Duke of York's annual £249,000 income - with Andrew reportedly telling his friends he might be unable to afford the property's running costs.
Andrew had previously been warned that his income may be cut when a senior royal made a joke over Christmas, saying: "We will kick Andrew out of the house."
