King Charles is showing signs of easing his strict stance on his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Earlier, on October 30, Buckingham Palace announced that Andrew would lose his royal titles, honours, and access to the Royal Lodge. He was also stripped of many royal privileges.
Insiders reveal that Andrew has faced “behind-the-scenes degradations.” Royal staff paid by the crown were removed, and he lost access to Windsor Castle’s kitchens. An edict also instructed him to stay out of public view until he is relocated.
Daily Mail columnist Ephraim Hardcastle explained that Andrew suffered multiple setbacks beyond losing titles, highlighting the personal impact of these decisions.
Despite these measures, King Charles has not made Andrew a commoner. The monarch frequently contacts his brother and is reinstating some of his royal perks. This includes regaining access to staff and stables, showing the King’s effort to balance family loyalty with royal duties.
Observers suggest that these changes may help ease tensions within the royal family. While Andrew’s reputation remains complicated, restoring certain privileges could improve his daily life and demonstrate the King’s care for his brother.
