### Tensions Rise: King Charles and Prince Andrew at a Crossroads

In the royal family, tensions often simmer just beneath the surface, and it seems that King Charles III is reaching his limit with his brother, Prince Andrew.

As the 75-year-old monarch grapples with how to handle Andrew's living arrangements, the pressure is mounting for a resolution.

Reports indicate that King Charles is becoming increasingly frustrated with Prince Andrew, who has been residing in Windsor's Royal Lodge since stepping back from official royal duties over five years ago.

While the Duke of York enjoys the comforts of royal life, it's clear that the king is eager to find a way forward that suits both parties.

The situation is compounded by financial considerations.

Since the Home Office withdrew Andrew's security funding, the king has stepped in, covering the substantial annual cost of approximately £3 million.

This financial burden is coupled with a living stipend that the king provides to his younger brother, adding to the complexities of their relationship.

However, royal insiders reveal that King Charles is running out of patience.

The monarch is reportedly weighing two primary options to resolve this ongoing dilemma.

The first would involve Andrew taking on the financial responsibility for his own income and security.

Yet, sources suggest that this may not be feasible for him, given that his only source of income is a modest navy pension.

The second option under consideration is a move to Frogmore Cottage, previously home to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

This residence could serve as a more manageable living arrangement for Andrew, with the added benefit of being within the Windsor security perimeter, which would allow for continued protection.
