King Charles is reportedly facing mounting pressure as tensions within the royal household intensify. According to palace insiders, the monarch grew visibly unsettled after a member of the public confronted him about his brother, Prince Andrew, during a recent public engagement. This encounter has allegedly left the King “furious.”
King Charles’ royal bubble ‘pierced’ after recent protest incident, says source
The tense exchange occurred outside Lichfield Cathedral, where King Charles was greeting well-wishers. Although the monarch maintained his composure in public, witnesses said he appeared visibly unsettled. Palace aides later described him as “deeply rattled” once he returned inside. A senior royal source told reporters, “The heckling pierced the royal bubble.” The King has spent his entire life preparing for this role, but that moment shook him profoundly.
King Charles is also facing renewed family strain surrounding Prince Andrew’s living arrangements. After months of back-and-forth with King Charles, the Duke of York has reportedly agreed to vacate the Royal Lodge, the Windsor residence he shares with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. The pair are said to be insisting on receiving two residences in exchange for moving out.
Prince Andrew, the third of Queen Elizabeth II’s four children, revealed that he chose to step back after a “discussion with the King.” He said they agreed that the “continued accusations” against him had become a distraction from the work of the monarch and other senior members of the royal family. According to palace insiders, Sarah has reportedly requested Adelaide Cottage, the residence where Prince William and Princess Kate have lived with their three children for the past three years.
The King is “terrified.” “For decades, people shouted ‘God Save the King,’” said one royal source. “Now, they’re shouting about Andrew — and no one’s stopping them.” “Charles can handle criticism,” the source says, but the recent events were more than just criticism..
