Royal Watchers Question King Charles And Prince Andrew's Relationship Following Eviction Rumors
In an ideal world, everyone would get along with their siblings. However, there is no doubt that isn't the case in the real world, since lots of siblings are on bad terms. Based on reports, that also isn't the case for the British royal family, as it has widely been reported that Prince Harry and Prince William are on bad terms.
However, many royal watchers don't know what the state of King Charles' relationship with his brother, Prince Andrew, is. According to a May 2024 report from The Daily Mail, it seems like Prince Andrew's relationship with his kingly big brother is complicated.
On the negative side, there have been a lot of rumors that King Charles is preparing to evict Prince Andrew from the Royal Lodge he calls home. On top of that, an inside source told The Daily Mail that there had been a "cooling of relations" between King Charles and Prince Andrew.
According to The Daily Mail's reporting, the reason why King Charles reportedly is considering evicting Prince Andrew from the Royal Lodge is simple. Now that Prince Andrew has no source of income since his royal duties were stripped, he can't afford to maintain the property.
The Daily Mail estimates that the Royal Lodge requires £400,000 a year just for maintenance. Since Prince Andrew can't afford that, the press has captured photos of the estate falling into disrepair.
One example of that is the fact that the media have photographed large patches of missing or flaking pain on the estate's exterior. Given how things look from the outside, it is easy to imagine the state of affairs inside the 30-room estate.

Even though Prince Andrew can't maintain the estate he has lived in for twenty years, he reportedly is adamantly against moving to a new home. According to The Daily Mail's report which cites an insider, Prince Andrew believes that being forced to move would be too much of a "demotion".
With that reporting in mind, it is easy to see how eviction rumors could lead to a "cooling of relations".
On the other hand, it seems that despite everything, King Charles and Prince Andrew still love one another, based on the reporting. In fact, according to The Daily Mail's reporting, the only reason why King Charles is rumored to be considering evicting his little brother is because they still love one another.

According to a 2024 US Weekly report, King Charles and Prince Andrew were always close in the past. That fact is pretty remarkable since King Charles is twelve years older than his younger brother.

After Princess Diana's Passing, what happened to her 17 godchildren became very controversial.
According to the outlet, King Charles recognized that Prince Andrew's scandalous past will remain a liability to the royal family. For their reporting, The Times of London cited an inside source.
"This will be unwelcome reputational damage to the institution. He has long ago concluded that it is probably an unsolvable problem. This will probably further strengthen in the prince’s mind that a way back for the duke is demonstrably not possible, because the spectre of this [accusation] raises its head with hideous regularity.”
Even though King Charles was upset that Prince Andrew would be an ongoing issue for the royal family, that wasn't the sole factor in their relationship.
Prince Andrew's reputation was forever tarnished after the public learned about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The Prince maintained a relationship with Epstein even after the financier first went to prison for his relationships with minors. Additionally, one of Epstein's accusers alleged that she was forced to be with Prince Andrew when she was 17 years old.
According to The Times of London's insider, King Charles still loved Prince Andrew despite his scandal. On top of that, the insider stated that King Charles empathized with Prince Andrew over the backlash he faced.
“The prince loves his brother and has the ability to have sympathy for the slings and arrows that his brother endures, whatever the reasons may be. His ability to support and feel for those having a tough time is well known."
