King Charles is spending the Bank Holiday weekend at Sandringham, but will not be visiting his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, HELLO! understands. The 77-year-old monarch arrived at Wood Farm Cottage on Sunday, the same secluded property where Andrew was temporarily housed after leaving Royal Lodge.
Andrew now resides at Marsh Farm, a five-bedroom farmhouse that has been renovated with extra security measures. However, the King is said to be in Sandringham for 'private time' away from royal engagements and has no plans to see his brother.
Charles stripped Andrew of his remaining styles and titles last October, meaning he is no longer known as 'prince' or 'Duke of York'. Andrew was also forced to surrender Royal Lodge, where he lived with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson for almost two decades, despite paying a nominal rent.
Following Andrew's arrest in February on his 66th birthday, the King stated that the 'law must take its course'. Unlike his siblings Princess Anne and Prince Edward, Charles is not believed to be in contact with Andrew or planning to visit him.
Officers investigating Andrew are reportedly looking into an allegation that he behaved inappropriately towards a woman at Royal Ascot in 2022. Thames Valley Police have made a public appeal for anyone with 'relevant information' to come forward, with a senior officer describing it as potentially 'the last roll of the dice' in the investigation.
