Despite King Charles issuing a stern warning, Prince Andrew continues to push the boundaries of his brother's patience.
A royal commentator notes that while King Charles and Prince Andrew "didn't get along" in their youth, they have now "bonded through grief."
Reports suggest that King Charles wants Andrew to move out of his 30-room mansion and into a smaller residence. Charles has been urging his younger brother to leave Royal Lodge and relocate to Frogmore Cottage, which was previously occupied by Meghan and Harry.
Speaking to GB News, royal correspondent Kinsey Schofield stated: "King Charles might threaten to sever ties with Prince Andrew if the non-working royal refuses to leave Royal Lodge for Frogmore Cottage.
"The Times quotes an unnamed friend of the King, claiming that the King said he is willing to use his private funds from the Duchy of Lancaster to ensure his brother lives comfortably.
"However, that funding must be appropriate. Another quote in the piece mentions that if Andrew doesn't leave within a reasonable time, the King might have to reassess the entire support package he provides.
"The Duke would need to cover most of his security, accommodation, and lifestyle costs on his own, which is unlikely to be feasible long-term for Prince Andrew, who is unemployed.
"They emphasized that King Charles has limits to his patience and tolerance. After multiple eviction conversations, a friend of the King has warned that life at Royal Lodge will become increasingly cold and uncomfortable for the Duke if he doesn't comply."
GB News host Mark Dolan commented: "We know the King is embarrassed by Andrew's controversies, including his ill-advised friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. But what do we know of their personal relationship? Do Charles and Andrew get along?"
Kinsey responded: "They didn't when they were younger, but I think they've both softened with age, especially towards the end of their parents' lives.
"I think they've bonded through grief. But the King's primary concern is his legacy and how people perceive him as a leader. He understands that Prince Andrew is a liability."
