In an exclusive clip from the Daily Expresso, Mark Dolan siezed on reports the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were forced to spend Easter at a holiday let because of Andrew&#8217;s stubbornness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean so this is a wild story, isn&#8217;t it? He won&#8217;t budge from Wood Farm,&#8221; he says. Host JJ Anisiobi responds: &#8220;I think he&#8217;s making King Charles look like an absolute powerless fool. The King has been gracious enough to let him stay in one of his many palatial homes and Andy is like, &#8216;No, I&#8217;m going to stay here for a bit longer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dolan agrees and claims the fault lies firmly at the King&#8217;s door for not being firmer with his brother.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really embarrassing,&#8221; he says. &#8220;And you&#8217;ve got to the nub of it, which is how outrageously weak Charles is. He&#8217;s a complete invertebrate. And I like Charles, and God bless him, he&#8217;s battling cancer, and his reign is being dominated by his runaway son Harry and his disgraced younger brother Andrew.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dolan continued: &#8220;Why is Charles so in hock to Andrew? Why can&#8217;t he have the whip hand over him? He&#8217;s the older brother. He&#8217;s the King. But there&#8217;s something going on there in that family dynamic that makes it difficult for him to deal with Andrew comprehensively.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Edward and Sophie had hoped to spend their Easter break at their usual holiday home, Wood Farm, this year, but Andrew refused to vacate it.<\/p>\n<p>He moved to the property earlier this year while he waited for the renovations on his permanent home, Marsh Farm, to be completed. <a target=\"_blank\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor finally moves into new home after Prince Edward clash\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2191468\/andrew-mountbatten-windsor-new-home-edward-clash\">Andrew is now understood to have moved into the property<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This prompted Dolan to lash out at the disgraced former prince, saying: &#8220;It&#8217;s ridiculous. The guy has no capacity for self-reflection. He knows no shame.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what is going on with Andrew. We know he&#8217;s got shocking taste in friends, but this is arrogance. This is hubris in the extreme. And we&#8217;re still seeing images of him driving around in a Range Rover, giving it large.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The King has not visited his brother since his move to Sandringham, though it is unclear whether they have spoken over the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Buckingham Palace has released several statements from the King about Andrew in recent months, including one in response to his brother&#8217;s arrest in February.<\/p>\n<p>The King said: &#8220;I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier that month the King expressed his &#8220;profound concern&#8221; over allgations about Andrew and will &#8220;stand ready to support&#8221; the police if approached over the claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.express.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has proven he &#8220;has no shame&#8221; after refusing to leave his temporary home on the Sandringham Estate for his younger brother Prince Edward, a royal commentator has blasted.
