King Charles III has reportedly made no move to evict his brother, Prince Andrew, from his Windsor mansion, Royal Lodge.
Recent reports revealed that the monarch could cut the Duke of York’s funding for his home security. The rumors come after Andrew was put in the spotlight again for being named in the recently released Jeffrey Epstein documents.
King Charles Won’t Ban Prince Andrew Because ‘Blood Is Thicker Than Water’

King Charles has no plans to kick disgraced Prince Andrew out of his Royal Lodge despite rumors he wants to cut off his access to royal funding for his home security.
Sources close to the royal family claim that such an action is against the King’s personality and that their “blood relationship” would also influence him not to take such action.
“The king is someone who has a high level of integrity,” the source said The Times. “There are people in the royal family who will take a more aggressive stance, but in that family, blood is thicker than water.”
The Queen Mother previously occupied Andrew’s 30-room home in Windsor Great Park until his death in 2002. He then moved in with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and now holds a lease on the residence until 2078.
No Public Role Ever For a Royal That Was Disgraced

Rumors of King Charles wanting to cut off Andrew’s access to royal funding for his home security come shortly after the disgraced prince received renewed negative attention for appearing in documents released relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
It comes after a judge ordered the release of court documents related to the case between Epstein’s victim, Virginia Giuffre, and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Recently, sources also claimed that the release of the documents would distance Andrew from taking a public role again, because his “association” with Epstein “will never go away.”
“When it comes to a public role for his brother, there’s no going back,” the insider said New York Post.
“There has always been an agreement that Andrew will be allowed to attend private and family events, as is his right. But not a public or official one. That hasn’t changed,” the source added.
Prince Andrew’s Alleged Relationship With Epstein Victim Revealed In New Documents

As part of the recently released Epstein documents, Prince Andrew was involved in a groping incident with another victim, Johanna Sjoberg. Sjoberg has allegedly signed up to work as a massage therapist for Epstein at the age of 21.
However, what is more important is that it sheds more light on his relationship with the victim Giuffre, who allegedly had sex with him when he was just 17 years old.
According to depositions in court documents, Guiffre claimed that Epstein paid her $15,000 to have sex with Prince Andrew, according to Daily Mail.
“I received $15,000. I don’t know the equivalent value of what is in the pound,” Guiffre said under oath, adding that he paid no taxes on the money he received.
In a separate case in 2021, Guiffre accused Prince Andrew of “sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.” The case was settled out of court for a reported $14 million without the Duke of York admitting liability.

While many argue Prince Andrew’s decision to settle with Guiffre spared him additional embarrassment, Epstein’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, who was also named in the documents released several times, believes it was a “terrible mistake.”
He told Times Radio, following Daily Mail: “I think he made a terrible mistake. I suspect he was pressured by his mother to make that mistake.”
Dershowitz also added that the disgraced prince would have won the case if he had pursued the case but may have chosen not to in order to prevent himself from revealing other personal information.
“If he fights the case, I believe he will win. I believe the case would have been dismissed for various reasons, but he didn’t want to sit through the deposition, or the people around him didn’t want to sit through the deposition, so he settled the case,” the lawyer added. .
