King Charles has found himself in a bit of a dilemma as the enactment of the law means he will have no contact with his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who has not only been accused of misconduct while in public office, but is also being criticized in the media for his association with a known and convicted child sex offender.
The criminal in question is Jeffrey Epstein and the files released by the Justice Department offer some shocking details of their encounters at parties and such.
Now it seems it has all come to a head and Andrew is being effectively ‘abandoned’ despite his siblings having already visited him due to concerns over his mental health since the transfer from Royal Lodge to Wood Farm was finalised.
The source with whom I spoke daily Mail This also eliminates the possibility of King Charles ever visiting in person, as “there has been no change in his views” and “the hard reality is that the King may never speak to Andrew.” At this time “for them to even be in the same room would bring about a drastic change in the king’s thinking.”
Furthermore, “(King Charles and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were not already close as brothers, there was tension between them that long predated the Epstein scandal).”
“Whereas in the context of the Epstein case the king feels he was lied to and that’s not easy to forgive. And in this situation Charles is not just a brother, but also the king – and in that capacity he has to protect the monarchy above all other considerations, even personal considerations.”
He is also afraid of any kind of communication because it means he could get into trouble if he gets accused.
Overall the insider explains, “One must remember, if Andrew is accused and there have been conversations with the King, his lawyers may say they are important and, as a result, will try to subpoena Charles to give evidence – which Her Majesty cannot do, because the case has been brought in his name, Rex v Mountbatten-Windsor. It would collapse.” Therefore “in relation to Andrew he has been given clear advice that ‘he is causing harm to the monarchy,’ so the King must completely disassociate himself from him, both publicly and privately.”
