King Charles and Prince Andrew’s ‘brotherly love is at all-time low,’ per expert
King Charles’ brother’s controversy has reportedly affected the siblings’ bond. British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that the monarch appeared to be “resolute” and “withdrawn” on Sunday’s Remembrance Day. He was allegedly under pressure due to his younger brother’s drama and the need to protect the monarchy amid the chaos.
The expert claimed, “While Andrew, of course, will always remain his brother, now that he’s a private citizen, the king is likely to further publicly distance himself.” They stated that the king has become “fed up” with Andrew. Further, he who would allegedly be denied an invitation to any future royal events.
While the 65-year-old is “sidelined,” the king has reportedly been thinking of “preserving the monarchy from this latest twist.” Moreover, Fordwich highlighted, “Brotherly love between them is at an all-time low. Prince William is said to be demanding that all these revelations mean not showing any leniency towards Andrew.”
Due to his scandalous past, the former Duke of York has been stripped of his “Prince” title. He also had to vacate his home of two decades, Royal Lodge. Meanwhile, the expert mentioned that he has been “refusing to negotiate residence terms.”
Reportedly, King Charles offered Andrew their father’s private estate — Wood Farm. The late Prince Philip spent his final days there, and the eldest son reportedly renovated it for his brother. However, it is still unclear whether the current Mountbatten-Windsor has accepted the offer.
