King Charles was reportedly planning to confront Prince Andrew at Royal Lodge before changing his mind. Emily Maitlis, known for her interview with Andrew on Newsnight, claimed that the confrontation was scheduled upon the King’s return from the Vatican. Last Thursday, media gathered at Royal Lodge amid speculation about developments in the ongoing controversy surrounding the Duke of York. Amid calls for Andrew to leave his Windsor mansion due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein, Maitlis disclosed that the media had been tipped off about Charles’s intended visit.
According to Maitlis, Charles was set to visit Royal Lodge to address his brother, with the media expected to capture the moment. However, the Palace canceled the meeting due to concerns over the media presence. Pressure is mounting on Andrew to appear before MPs regarding his residence at Royal Lodge, where he has lived for over two decades. Calls for Andrew to testify before a select committee on his rent-free living arrangement at the Crown Estate property have intensified.
Despite the family drama surrounding Andrew, King Charles attended a service in the West Midlands, where he faced questions from protestors about his knowledge of Andrew’s connections to Epstein. The Liberal Democrat leader has urged a parliamentary inquiry into the taxpayer support for Andrew’s living arrangements. Amid these developments, the public is demanding transparency regarding the use of taxpayer funds to support Andrew.
