A new report suggests that tensions between King Charles III and his brother, Prince Andrew, have reached a breaking point. The two are reportedly not on speaking terms, with unresolved issues continuing to strain their relationship. While details remain unclear, the growing rift between the royal siblings has captured significant attention.
In this article, we will delve into the new developments in King Charles’ relationship with his brother Prince Andrew.
King Charles isn’t on speaking terms with Prince Andrew, states new report
Prince Andrew’s relationship with King Charles III has reportedly worsened, with the two not on speaking terms. The Duke of York, who has resided in the 31-room Royal Lodge since 2004, has faced growing pressure from his older brother to downsize, particularly due to the ongoing fallout from Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Despite King Charles’ attempts to resolve the situation, including cutting off Andrew’s annual allowance, the prince has reportedly refused to leave. Prince Andrew seems to have secured alternative sources of income to afford the high costs of maintaining the estate. (via The Times)
Royal sources suggest that the King, who has been covering Andrew’s security expenses since he lost police protection in 2022, is growing frustrated with his brother’s unwillingness to move. Andrew’s continued residence at Royal Lodge along with his controversial past, is reportedly damaging the royal family’s reputation. The King’s patience appears to be wearing thin.
As tensions heighten, whether Prince Andrew will attend this year’s royal Christmas celebrations at Sandringham remains unclear. His strained relationship with Charles, who is reportedly “at his wit’s end,” has been compounded by Andrew’s refusal to downsize to Frogmore Cottage, a property vacated by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle earlier. The future of the Duke of York’s residence remains uncertain. Meanwhile, the family dynamics within the royal family appear increasingly strained. (via Fox News)
