However, a source close to the Royal Family said: “The hard reality is that the King may never speak to Andrew again. It would take an enormous shift in the King’s thinking for them even to be in the same room.
They added: “The fact that Edward has now visited Andrew and that Anne has spoken to him too might appear to suggest that Charles might be contemplating some kind of rapprochement – but that’s completely wrong.”
It is reported that Princess Anne reached out to her brother following Andrew’s arrest, concerned about his wellbeing.
He was released under investigation and vehmently denies all allegations against him.
As reported in the Daily Mail, the source added: “They were never close as brothers in the first place, with tensions between them which long predate the Epstein scandal.
“While in the context of the Epstein case, the King feels that he was lied to and that’s not easy to forgive.
“And Charles is not just a brother in this situation but also the King, and in that capacity he has to protect the monarchy above all other considerations, even personal ones.”
The former Prince Andrew is now officially living in his new home, Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate, according to reports.
In February, he moved to Wood Farm and lived there until renovations were complete at Marsh Farm. The five-bedroom property, which was formerly a working farmhouse, underwent major renovations ahead of Andrew’s move.
Security was also significantly reinforced due to the property’s proximity to a public road, with the addition of a nearly two-meter wooden perimeter fence, CCTV systems, security lighting, and even an airspace restriction zone.
Andrew’s accommodation is now privately funded by the King, as Marsh Farm is located on the Royal Family’s private estate of Sandringham.
