King Charles spent the late May bank holiday at Sandringham in Norfolk, but pointedly did not visit his disgraced brother, Prince Andrew, despite staying just minutes away at a neighbouring property on the royal estate, according to reports.
The apparent royal frost comes after an extraordinarily turbulent eight months for Prince Andrew, who has endured what insiders routinely describe as a complete collapse of his public role. The Duke of York was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages and moved out of his long-time Windsor home. Earlier this year, he was relocated to Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate, a quieter, more remote base that has fed a perception of a prince now living on the fringes of the institution he once embodied.
