King Charles has invited trouble for himself with Andrew problem.

His Majesty’s kingship has come under question as after his younger brother has been exploiting his Royal address on peppercorn rent.

Royal expert, Richard Kay notes: "When Charles became King three years ago, there was speculation about whether he would crack down on his relatives living in grand addresses for free or just paying modest or peppercorn rent.”

He tells Daily Mail: “That has not happened. Instead, the scandal over Andrew has triggered a full-scale housing crisis for the royals."

Meanwhile, Royal expert Rebecca English said: "The suggestion is that the entire half a million pounds that he could have got back for having to leave his lease early could be swallowed up by the repairs. The truth is we don't entirely know yet because he's still living there and they're trying to assess it while he's there.

"They almost probably need him to move out before the surveyors can go around and have a proper look. If it was to be swallowed up it would be quite a happy solution because no one, not the King, not the crown, not the state or anyone wants to see public money being paid to Andrew because that would not be a good look,” she noted
