King Charles 'May Never Speak' to Ex-Prince Andrew Again Amid Arrest and Jeffrey Epstein Scandal: 'They Were Never Close as Brothers'

There's no love lost between King Charles and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The monarch, 77, reportedly isn't too keen on keeping in touch with his disgraced younger brother amid his scandals involving Jeffrey Epstein.

"The hard reality is that the King may never speak to Andrew again," a source told GB News on Tuesday, April 14, adding there's "no chance" of Charles reaching out to the former prince, 66.

"They were never close as brothers in the first place, with tensions between them which long predate the Epstein scandal," the insider added.

"Charles is not just a brother in this situation but also the King — and in that capacity, he has to protect the monarchy above all other considerations, even personal ones," they continued.

The ex-Duke of York was arrested by Windsor police on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office, as he may have relayed confidential info to Epstein.

His name and photo were also seen multiple times in the DOJ's January drop of the Epstein files, where his emails to the s-- trafficker were unveiled.

Charles evicted Andrew from his longtime home, the Royal Lodge, and took away his royal titles in October 2025.

The Royal Navy veteran was forced to move into Marsh Farm on the royal family's Sandringham Estate in Norfolk earlier this year.

Both Prince Edward and Princess Anne reportedly recently visited Andrew at his new abode in an effort to gauge his mental status. Edward, 62, stopped by to see him for Easter alongside his wife, Sophie.

Edward and Sophie, 61, allegedly stayed for dinner with Andrew so the former Earl of Wessex's could "check up on his brother’s mental and physical well-being," according to BBC correspondent Jennie Bond.

"Some reports say Andrew is as pompous as ever, but others suggest that he is profoundly depressed," Bond told The Mirror on April 12. "It will probably be a very long time before we see him with other members of the family in public."

Edward and Anne, 75, "are privately keeping communication channels open," and they are "undoubtedly keeping Charles in the picture too."

"But I guess Edward’s visit suggests that behind the stoic face of the royal family there lies a beating heart. We can only hope that one of them exerts some pressure on their brother to do the decent thing and tell the U.S. authorities what he knows about Epstein," she stated.
