King Charles showed true feelings towards Prince Andrew with major decision

Royal experts have suggested that King Charles revealed his true feelings towards Prince Andrewwhen he chose to remove the police protection for his two daughters,Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. In 2011, a decision was made to remove the taxpayer-funded security detail for both princesses.

Royal correspondent Jack Royston believes the move would have "really stung for Andrew", while fellow royal expert Jennie Bond said she vividly remembered Andrew's response. She recalled: "I do remember him being very upset, affronted, insulted on behalf of his daughters by Charles' decision."

Meanwhile, Baroness Ayesha Hazarika suggested that the choice to axe Beatrice and Eugenie's security would have dealt a significant blow to Andrew and clearly demonstrated to the public how their relationship stood.

The Baroness remarked: "That certainly sent a signal Andrew and it certainly sent a signal to the wider public that there was definitely a cooling in relations."

The bond between Charles, 76, and Andrew, 65, has continued to attract attention in recent years following his coronation as King and the Duke of York's withdrawal from Royal duties amid a string of controversies, including questionable connections to Jeffrey Epstein, reports OK!

Additionally, a recent alteration has reportedly been implemented which means that Andrew would no longer be eligible to deputise for the monarch as Counsellors of State.

A discreet amendment to the rules in 2022 now stipulates that only working royals can serve as Counsellors of State in place of the monarch.

As Andrew has stepped back from his working Royal duties, this responsibility is no longer available to him.

The tension between Charles and Andrew isn't the sole Royal fracture attracting attention, with widespread speculation about whether Charles and his younger son Prince Harry might eventually repair their relationship.

Contributing to the discussion, former Times Royal correspondent Valentine Low spoke to The Sun's Royal Exclusive show about the possibility of healing this particular divide.

He observed: "Prince Harry doesn't want to betray his father. Yes, he betrayed all those secrets as he wanted to let things out in his Netflix documentary and his book, Spare.

"Charles is primarily a father than monarch. It causes Charles immense pain that there is this huge rift in his family. He has said he doesn't want them to make his last years a misery. Charles will want to explore a reconciliation if this is what this is, and he's perfectly right to do so."
