King Charles has been forced to make some tough decisions in recent months. In late 2025, the monarch demoted his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and evicted him from Royal Lodge in Windsor. Following the release of additional files related to Andrew's friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, The King has allegedly been left with "no choice" but to act swiftly.
Speaking to the Mirror, royal expert Duncan Larcombe explained, "I think The King will pay what needs to be paid and will fund his brother, in a way he's kind of got no choice." Larcombe continued, "Andrew can't end up homeless and on the streets, much as the public might like that to happen."
