not from a country with monarchy but as I understand from reading stuff, he should still get some sort of support from his family's lands (though I guess how much depends on his parents?).

ie Queen Elizabeth earns from multiple sources, she has the sovereign grant (as I understand it, essentially everyone else is "renting" lands from the royal family and a so a percentage of what those lands earn goes to the royal family, which is then used to pay for their official duties) AND she earns from her duchy (the Duchy of Lancaster). What she earns from her duchy is used to pay for expenses incurred by other members of the royal family. She also has other personal investments. Similarly "Leo" could still be getting money from that Privy purse or from his parents' other personal investments. I don't think they'll just let him have no funds or anything.

They might provide him with his own duchy like in TRR with your character and that would allow him to earn a steady income to support his lifestyle while also placing some responsibility on him to earn that money. That is also what happened when Queen Elizabeth's Uncle abdicated the throne. He became Duke of Windsor.
