King Charles reportedly yearns to shut his disgraced brother, the former Prince Andrew, out of royal life entirely, as tensions boil over the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein investigation. An unnamed palace insider told the National Enquirer on 26 March that the monarch cannot stomach the association any longer. Frustration simmers at the highest levels.
Andrew's arrest on 19 February, coinciding with his 66th birthday, lies at the heart of it. Police accuse him of passing confidential information to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a charge that could bring life in prison upon conviction. Throughout, Andrew has strenuously denied any misconduct.
