King Charles has reportedly passed up the opportunity to visit ex-Prince Andrew, though he has been weekend-ing in Wood Farm, just minutes away from Marsh Farm, where his brother has taken up residence following his evacuation from the Royal Lodge. Both properties are placed within the same estate in Sandringham.
It is being widely speculated that the cold-shoulder treatment is linked to fresh police allegations and a widening net of criminal investigations around ex-Prince Andrew, who faced a February 2026 arrest for his alleged involvement with deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The snub suggests that King Charles has drawn severe boundaries in their relationship, as his disgraced brother continues to combat legal complications. Charles has already stripped the former Duke of York of all royal titles and expedited his relocation from the Royal Lodge to a small five-bedroom cottage in Norfolk.
Andrew is facing fresh police scrutiny over behaving inappropriately toward a woman at the Royal Ascot in 2002. The allegations are dated June 18-22, 2002, at the event that Andrew regularly attended and even invited both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to.
While the police have not gone into any details regarding the fresh allegations, they have revealed that the investigation stretches beyond the Ascot allegations and includes sexual misconduct, corruption, and fraud linked to Andrew’s decades-long role as Britton’s special representative for trade and investment between 2011 and 2011.
Police have also reportedly got access to Scotland Yard’s files on Virginia Giuffre, who had accused Andrew of assaulting her three times when she was 17 years old.
Andrew had denied any wrongdoing and later settled the civil lawsuit outside court for a reported $16 million without admitting liability.
In a terse public statement, King Charles has said that the investigation has caused “deep concern” and firmly declared, “the law must take its course.”
