"The sight of him plastered on the front pages, out riding his horse or driving in his car past photographers in Windsor, amid the continued dripping poison of the [Jeffrey] Epstein files was just too much," the insider told Daily Express. _ The public display reportedly sent King Charles III over the edge. "He had to be removed from the public eye. Charles said enough was enough and the message was conveyed to Andrew [Mountbatten-Windsor] that it was time for him to head to Norfolk immediately," the source claimed. _ After the release of additional files related to Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was back in the hot seat. The former Duke of York is featured in several photos hovering over an anonymous female. "These photos of Andrew with an unidentified woman in the files linked to the deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, coming after a recently released photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lying across four women at Sandringham, will bring more embarrassment for the royal family," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Daily Express. "We don't know when they were taken or the context and he has denied all wrongdoing, but they will seem extremely d******, especially to a public, where, in the latest YouGov poll, he [Andrew] has only 6% support." _ Despite King Charles III's frustration with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, a report from The Sun claimed that His Majesty contributed $2 million to help his brother settle with his accuser, Virginia Giuffre. The late activist claimed Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her to the 65-year-old when she was underage. "As far as anyone knows, he still has not repaid a single penny of the millions he borrowed," the source said. _ Despite wanting the public to think otherwise, King Charles III seemed to sweep Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's troubles under the rug. "You do not sign off on a package like that as a bystander. You do it because you are making a hard political calculation about what is in the interests of the Crown. Charles wasn't dragged into this against his will; he was at the heart of the cover-up," expert Tom Sykes wrote for his The Royalist Substack.
