King Charles has cut off all direct communication with his disgraced brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, but that hasn’t stopped the former royal from reaching out.
The former Duke of York was recently under a security threat when he walked his dog in Sandringham. A man allegedly targeted him, but before he could do any harm, Andrew and his bodyguard sped off in the car.
Also, as the move to remove Andrew from the line of succession is in the works, the monarch’s disgraced brother was removed from yet another honor by the City of London Corporation.
According to insiders cited by Rob Shuter, Andrew has communicated with the king’s people, but not with Charles personally.
“There is no direct contact there anymore,” the source said, noting that Andrew is making a desperate promise to the king to soften his attitude towards him.
He claims that he would not leave the country to prove that the allegations against him – from the leaking of confidential documents from the public office to the offenses revealed in the Epstein files – are not true.
“Andrew continues to insist he has nothing to hide and nowhere to run,” they noted. “But after years of scandals, almost no one is willing to simply take him at his word.”
“Technically, there’s nothing stopping him from getting on a plane tomorrow,” the source explained. “And that is exactly what worries the palace.”
Meanwhile, Charles wants nothing to do with his disgraced brother.
“This stopped being about family loyalty a long time ago,” another source added. “For Charles, it’s now about protecting the crown.”
Besides, no one in the royal house listens to Andrew’s complaints anymore.
