Mr Dolan was speaking to journalist JJ Anisiobi during a <a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2191707\/andrew-edward-wood-farm-easter\" rel=\"nofollow\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_self\">Daily Express podcast<\/a>. The host said: &#8220;I think he&#8217;s [Andrew] 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 class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Mr Dolan agreed with this stance, telling the journalist: &#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 class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Marsh Farm underwent renovations ahead of Andrew&#8217;s move. During this phase, the King was never seen visiting his brother, but it is unclear if they have spoken over the phone. Andrew, a former pilot in the Royal Navy, was also arrested during this period, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The dad of two was released under investigation, but he denies any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Since then, Edward, and his wife Sophie, are said to have visited him at Wood Farm over the Easter break for dinner in what has been described as a &#8220;brotherly welfare check&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Speaking of Andrew&#8217;s arrest in February, the monarch previously said: &#8220;I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.&#8221;<\/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.mirror.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was forced to vacate his former residence, the Royal Lodge, earlier last year following King Charles&#8217; decision to strip him of his royal titles and honours Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor&#8217;s living arrangements have hit the headlines this month (Image: AP) Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been blasted for &#8220;giving it large&#8221; despite his Royal Lodge eviction.
