Andrew turns a deaf ear to King Charles 'brutal ultimatum'

Andrew has apparently snubbed King Charles new orders as the disgraced former Duke of York was spotted driving a brand-new Land Rover at Royal Lodge.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears to have received a new Land Rover over the festive period.

Princess Eugenie and Beatrice's father was pictured driving the vehicle at his Royal Lodge residence in Windsor.

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

Speaking to the Radar Online recently, the palace insiders claimed, "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.
