King Charles' 'High Level Of Integrity' Won't Let Him 'Force' Prince Andrew Out Of Royal Lodge

King Charles III is reportedly not making any moves to evict his brother, Prince Andrew, from his Windsor mansion, Royal Lodge.

A recent report revealed that the monarch could cut off the Duke of York's funding for his home security. The rumors came in the wake of Andrew being placed in the spotlight again for being named in the recently released Jeffrey Epstein documents.

King Charles has no plans to evict disgraced Prince Andrew from his Royal Lodge despite rumors of him wanting to cut off his access to royal funding for his home security.

Sources close to the royal family claim that such a move contradicts the King's personality and that their "blood ties" would also influence him not to take such action.

"The King is somebody with a high level of integrity," the source told The Times. "There are people in the royal household who would take a more aggressive stance, but in that family, blood is thicker than water."

The Queen Mother previously occupied Andrew's 30-room house in Windsor Great Park until she died in 2002. He then moved in with his now ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and currently holds a lease on the residence until 2078.

Rumors about King Charles wanting to cut off Andrew's access to royal funding for his home security emerged shortly after the disgraced prince garnered negative traction again for appearing in the released documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

It happened in the wake of a judge ordering the release of court documents associated with the case between Epstein's victim, Virginia Giuffre, and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Recently, sources also claimed that the release of the document would further alienate Andrew from taking on a public role once again, as his "association" with Epstein "is just never going to go away."

"When it comes to any public role for his brother, there is no way back," an insider told the New York Post.

"There has always been an agreement that Andrew would be permitted to attend private and family events, as is his right. But not public or official ones. That has not changed," the source added.

As part of the recently released Epstein documents, Prince Andrew was implicated in a groping incident with another victim, Johanna Sjoberg. Sjoberg had been allegedly enlisted to work as a massage therapist for Epstein at the age of 21.

However, what was more important was that it shed more light on his relationship with victim Giuffre, whom he allegedly had sex with when she was just 17 years old.

According to a deposition in the court docs, Guiffre claimed that Epstein paid her $15,000 to have sex with Prince Andrew, per the Daily Mail.

"I did receive $15,000. I do not know the equivalent to what that is in pounds," Guiffre said under oath, adding that she did not pay tax on the money she received.

In a different case in 2021, Guiffre accused Prince Andrew of "sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress." The case was settled out of court for a reported $14 million without the Duke of York admitting liability.

While many think Prince Andrew's decision to settle with Guiffre saved him from additional embarrassment, Epstein's lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, who was also named in the released documents multiple times, believes it was a "terrible mistake."

He told Times Radio, per the Daily Mail: "I think he made a terrible mistake. I suspect he was pressured by his mother to make that mistake."

Dershowitz also added that the disgraced prince would have won the case if he persisted with the case but might have chosen not to do so to prevent himself from revealing other personal information.

"If he had fought that case, I believe he would have won. I believe the case would have been dismissed on a variety of grounds, but he didn't want to sit through a deposition, or people around him didn't want to sit through a deposition, so he settled the case," the attorney added.
