Charles is avoiding Andrew in a bid to try to rein in the non-stop scandals.
After all the criticism from President Donald J. Trump directed at weak British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, it was a nice surprise to see just how well King Charles did in his state visit to the US.
While the Monarch is still ‘basking in all the glory’, he returned to Britain and went out to get some rest – but the way he did it shows clearly how he will be tackling the scandals involving the Royal Family, and the allegations involving his disgraced younger brother, former Prince Andrew.
King Charles snubs visit to Andrew despite staying in cottage less than half a mile away from his outcast brother https://t.co/B40lImifmD

Royal Observer reported:
“Charles reportedly spent some quiet time at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate. It is the very home Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had only recently moved out of. However, the visit caught attention because of the fact that the disgraced Prince was living just a field away in his new residence, yet the brothers seemingly never met.
The move has only fueled speculation that the King is continuing to keep a firm distance from his brother as he works to protect the monarchy’s image. The King was seen at St. Mary Magdalene’s Church on March 1, attending Sunday service, but despite being just a short distance away from Mountbatten-Windsor, he reportedly avoided seeing his disgraced brother altogether.”

Even though Charles was less than half a mile from Andrew’s new house, it appears the brothers are more distant than ever.
“Meanwhile, the former Duke remains buried under the fallout from his Epstein scandal, stripped of royal duties and privileges while still being investigated over alleged misconduct in public office. Given his situation, Prince Edward is apparently worried about his mental health.
According to royal insiders, one thing still seems to deeply frustrate Mountbatten-Windsor: the fact that Royal Lodge in Windsor has reportedly remained empty months after he was pushed to leave the property in February. Sources claimed he feels his exit was rushed and unnecessary, especially since no one has moved into the sprawling residence since his departure.”
Sources close to Andrew say that King Charles, is rubbing salt in the wound by ignoring him while staying at a 10-minute walk distance.
But most experts agree that Charles must keep his distance from his brother that is constantly plagued by scandals, and now, a criminal investigation.
