King Charles may still have a small soft spot for disgraced younger brother Prince Andrew – now known simply as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor since he was stripped of his titles amid ongoing Jeffrey Epstein-related fallout – but according to new reports, the monarch is trying to stay one step ahead.
After some initial doubts, the King is reportedly now very confident in his decision to evict Andrew from Royal Lodge and strip him of his titles. And unlike the drama that followed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s royal exit in 2020 – the controversial Netflix docuseries, the explosive Oprah interview, and the Spare bombshells – King Charles reportedly doesn’t believe Andrew will follow the same path. And that’s all down to him holding some very important and potentially damaging secrets about his brother…

Will Ex-Prince Andrew Spill Royal Family Secrets?
According to insiders, several members of the royal family were initially concerned that Andrew might lash out due to feeling “betrayed” and abandoned by his family following the eviction and title removal.
They reportedly feared that he may attempt his own revenge tour of royal secrets, similar to his nephew. However, the King reportedly doesn't think Andrew will dare to do such a thing because he allegedly holds a pretty intense safeguard: a 30-year dossier of Andrew's bad deeds! Wow!
Unsurprisingly, Prince William, who is no fan of his uncle and reportedly hasn't been for a very long time, is fully on board with the way his father is handling the situation!
King Charles Has An 'Insurance Policy' To Prevent Andrew From Dropping Bombshells About The Royal Family
As per the Scottish Express, Private Eye's long-running royal columnist – known only as 'Flunkey' and believed to be someone inside Buckingham Palace or with extremely close ties – claims Andrew's "biggest grip is that his brother has effectively pronounced him guilty so he will never clear his name."
"But [the King] needn't fret that he will write a revenge version of his truth," they went on, adding: "This is thanks to that insurance policy – the dossier on Andrew's antics compiled over 30 years via staff, protection officers, diplomats, etc." Yikes!
Andrew's Living Arrangements Are Still Undecided
There's also the ongoing saga of Andrew's living arrangements, which contrary to previous reports, aren't actually finalized…
After years of back-and-forth, King Charles finally evicted Andrew (and therefore also Sarah Ferguson, who was living there with her ex despite their split in 1992) from Royal Lodge. But Flunkey says the reports that Andrew is now preparing to move permanently to Sandringham might not be totally accurate, and there are still many things to sort out financially.
"Andrew, angry and betrayed by [the King's] volte-face, has yet to agree to anything," they explained, adding: "Sandringham is an option; but unless the future King William agrees to carry on supporting his uncle, Andrew won't be signing up to anything." And given how little Prince William reportedly thinks of Andrew, it doesn't seem likely that he will want to support him – financially or otherwise!
