Last month, it was reported that Prince Andrew may have to quit his Royal Lodge home after King Charles laid off his security team. The monarch is said to have told the 10-strong detail they will no longer be needed from the autumn.

As the British royal family marks the second anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, a revelation has surfaced that sent ripples through the palace walls. King Charles is said to have been left concerned by the number of personal crises affecting the royal family. An insider has claimed that his actions have left certain royals disappointed, including Queen Camilla, who appears thin and frail.

With his head in his hands, the monarch looks like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders as he greets the grieving families of the stabbing victims in a family tragedy. While royal sources assure the public that he is in good health and returning to work, there are concerns that the king is not as well as the palace PR team would like us to believe. Charles looks at the current state of his family with deep concern. Everyone, it seems, has issues—whether they be health, financial, or legal. Not many of them are getting along as well as he’d like.

The situation with Andrew and the Royal Lodge has somewhat divided the family, or at least shown who is still stuck on loyalties to his mother, the previous monarch. Anne, Sophie, and Edward are all disappointed in how he’s handled it. Then there’s the diabolical situation between his two beloved sons. Charles cannot believe what Harry has done, and it has changed William forever. Now, William has made it clear that he doesn’t want Harry at his coronation, something that breaks Charles’s heart. He never gave up hope that the two would be reconciled, but it’s not looking like it will happen in this lifetime.

There have been fallouts with Sarah, Beatrice, and Eugenie, who are deeply concerned that Andrew is not being protected. He even managed to upset Camilla, and she’s bearing the brunt of his irritability at Balmoral this summer. The 75-year-old royal is finding it hard to take a break from the pressures of the top job, even though he knows how important it is to relax.

Last month, it was reported that Prince Andrew may have to quit his Royal Lodge home after King Charles laid off his security team. The monarch is said to have told the 10-strong detail that they will no longer be needed for the autumn. The not-so-grand Duke of York remains a baleful, apparently ungovernable character. The king has now issued him with an ultimatum of sorts: either become self-sufficient and pay the cost of living in Royal Lodge yourself, or move to accommodations more in keeping with your diminished status. He has been offered the nearby Frogmore Cottage, according to reports, which was previously home to the other royal outcasts, Harry and Meghan.

For now, the so-called siege of the Royal Lodge shows no signs of ending. Andrew has a lease on the property until 2078 and is refusing to contemplate leaving until then. The Duke has paid over £8.5 million, including more than £7 million on renovations already, for the residence, which he moved into in August 2003, the year after the former resident, the Queen Mother, died. He is likely to claim that he has the right to remain in it, along with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, for as long as he pleases. In other words, like a grumpier, stouter Greta Garbo, Prince Andrew wants to be left alone.

There’s been a lot going on, and the king has always been upbeat. Not once has he allowed himself to question the future. He’s dealt with everything head-on. Now he’s back in business. There’s a spring in his step and a renewed vigor with it. Everything’s looking positive, which is welcome. The king has been putting the finishing touches on arrangements for his first international tour with Queen Camilla. They head to Australia and the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa next month. He has told aides that he wants to make up for lost time and cement his own legacy while simultaneously deliberating plans to commemorate his late mother.

In May, the king did not bow to the pressure to see Prince Harry when the Duke of Sussex was in London to attend a ceremony at St. Paul’s Cathedral to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. A palace insider said, “Would the king prefer relations were not as they are between his son and the family? Of course. But the king is focused on things he believes are more important right now.”
