The Duke of York is seen driving a new car as tensions with the King are said to deepen
Prince Andrew appears to have brushed aside a tough message from his brother after being spotted out and about in a new vehicle.
According to Daily Mail, the disgraced royal was seen driving a brand-new Land Rover at Royal Lodge, where he currently lives. The car is said to have arrived over the festive period, and Andrew was photographed at the wheel near his home.
The sighting comes amid reports that King Charles III has issued what insiders describe as a “brutal ultimatum” to his younger brother. The warnings reportedly followed renewed attention on Andrew after the release of a photograph linked to the Epstein files.
Speaking to Radar Online, a palace source claimed the King was deeply unimpressed by images showing Andrew smiling in public. The insider said Charles now expects clear signs of humility if Andrew wants his living arrangements and security costs to continue being covered by the Royal household.
The same source alleged that Andrew has been told to appear subdued and apologetic whenever he is seen outside royal residences, particularly where photographers may be present. Any images suggesting otherwise, they said, are viewed as damaging.
Andrew, the father of their daughters, has kept a low profile in recent years. However, this latest appearance, paired with reports of a stern warning from the King, suggests relations within the family remain strained.
