I'm wondering if the King has a large vat of Malmsy he could put to good use? that did seem to work well for Edward 1V. Otherwise how does a king these days deal with a wayward brother.

Fact, Andrew pays for his own security, The King stopped him receiving public funding in 2022 and until 2024 The King paid for his brother’s security, 2024 The King stopped paying leaving Andrew to pay for his own security

How many of us GNetters would be prepared to be held responsible for any wayward siblings? For goodness' sake leave the rest of the family out of this. Andrew and Sarah are finished, redundant.......does your craving for blood and revenge really go that far?

Cutting the cloth to suit their coat is not something they could even begin to understand. Their belief is that if the privileges that surround you aren’t enough you abuse them as well as the dodgy people who are self serving enough to involve themselves in your greedy, grasping life.

Nobody comes out of it well and nobody deserves to.

It is pathetic to watch Fergie still living a grand life even though she has no rights to anything. Did she inherit money from someone? I understand she accepted large sums of money from Jeffrey Epstein. People just don’t give you money without expecting something in return. It looks like she is a grifter having taken money from others looking to access the royal family. The fact that she is still a part of this family is awful and if she is not humiliated by what it looks like, maybe it is time for Charles to set some rules about who can live in that large house. Who is paying for the upkeep or security’s. By the way, it is pretty strange that Fergie knew of Andrew’s involvement with Epstein and she also had am involvement with Epstein. Surely, there is something is their relationship that is just not right??? Look deeper and see what you can find.

What would you like King Charles to do, exactly Sarnia? As previous posters say, he is not his brother’s keeper. He is not responsible for his siblings behaviour and he has already made it apparent that Andrew can no longer be a working royal. Other than that, he can’t really do anything - he’s not Henry V111, after all!

I think the proposed move to Frogmore Cottage should go ahead. It was reported that Andrew did not consider it grand enough but with the York's spendthrift ways and the very real prospect of his ex-wife not being in demand for lucrative events, cutting their coat to suit their cloth would be a good idea.
Both of them should fade into the background.

There is no more Charles can do, Andrew is living in Royal Lodge legally , perhaps this will change if he cannot now pay
for upkeep of the house now Sarah isn’t making vast sums of money, unless she climbs back up yet again

In itself, appearing on a flight log at a time it is known he was involved is not a stunning new revelation is it, as we already knew Andrew visited Epstein’s home? The revelation to me was that Elon Musk was also a visitor.

Kicking him and his grasping ex-wife out of Royal Lodge would be a good start.

Well, yes, that could be done, I suppose.

Andrew has a lease until 2078, by which time he will be 118 and Sarah 119.

King Charles is not his brother's keeper.
Andrew is 65, not 5.

What exactly is the King supposed to do? Andrew is not a working Royal. He does not receive any tax payers money and he has been stripped of all his military affiliations. He is the son of a monarch so is a Prince. He is the brother of the King. So, what should the King do?

Sarnia Fri 26-Sept-25 22:13:28

Prince Andrew's name appears on the flight manifest for Epstein's Lolita Express according to further documents released today.
Come on King Charles, sort this out.
