King Charles issues 'brutal ultimatum' to Andrew

King Charles has reportedly issued a ‘brutal ultimatum’ to his disgraced brother Andrew following the release of a new photograph published in Epstein files.

This has been claimed by royal insiders while speaking to the Radar Online.

The palace source tells the media outlet, "The message from Charles now is stark after he saw the Epstein files photo of him smiling while surrounded by women.”

The close confidant added, “if Andrew expects his living arrangements and security costs to keep being covered by The Firm, he needs to show some contrition. Smiling for the camera, especially in that context, is not acceptable.”

“Charles' ultimatum to Andrew has basically amounted to, 'Wipe that smile off your face’” the royal insider claimed.

The outlet further revealed, "Charles has told him he must look downcast, humble, and apologetic any time he steps outside of royal residences, and there is a chance he may be photographed."

"He does not want pictures out there of Andrew smiling as if he has nothing to be apologetic for or ashamed. It is perhaps Charles' most brutal ultimatum to Andrew yet," the palace insider added.

The fresh claims came days after Andrew and Sarah Ferguson spent Christmas apart from the royal family, who continued their tradition of gathering at Sandringham

King Charles announced he was stripping Andrew of all royal titles and honors in late October amid renewed scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
