King Charles evicted ex-Prince Andrew from the Royal Lodge last year.
The source also revealed authorities seem "to be no nearer being able to prove an allegation of misconduct in a public office, for which Andrew was detained back in February.”
While the Royal Navy veteran has mainly kept a low profile while living in Norfolk, he reportedly hasn't spoke to brother King Charles in quite some time.
Andrew was kicked out of his longtime Windsor home, the Royal Lodge, by the monarch, 77, last year and he also had his royal titles yanked away.
However, Andrew has been staying in touch with younger brother Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie.

Ex-Prince Andrew has often been seen riding his horse around Sandringham.

The royal institution is reportedly concerned over the optics of Andrew's leisurely pastimes as they pose as a public relations nightmare for The Firm.

“He had to be removed from the public eye," they went on.
