At the end of the day, it looks like King Charles still has a soft spot for his brother – or maybe not. There’s a new report that says the King of England won’t change the locks on The Royal Lodge to evict Prince Andrew even though he was already given his walking papers months ago.

But while everyone is expecting Prince Andrew to pack his bags and leave, it looks like that’s not going to happen anytime soon. Here’s what you need to know.
Did King Charles Have A Change Of Heart Over Prince Andrew?
According to the Daily Mail, Charles isn’t the kind of King of England who will change the locks on someone. Even though he evicted the Duke of York from The Royal Lodge in order to make room for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s family, he’s not going to give his brother the boot.
But Andrew is currently using the excuse that home renovations are being made and that’s why he can’t move out. One source said, “The idea that Charles is going to use building works as some underhand pretext to get Andrew out and then lock the doors is about as ill-informed as earlier speculation he was going to cut off the electricity. That’s simply not how he operates.”
But at the same time, Charles is none too pleased with Prince Andrew living in such a palatial state, either. The insider added, “The question is whether Andrew is now bluffing in the hope of getting a bigger financial settlement for surrendering his lease, or if he really intends to defy his brother by staying put in Royal Lodge.

If that really is the case, and he and his family cannot afford to repair and maintain it, Charles will have to choose between allowing a historic home to crumble around his nightmare sitting tenant—or pay for the upkeep himself after all.”
What’s Next For Prince Andrew?
You better believe that many royal fans have had a lot to say about the matter online. Some have commented with, “I believe if Andrew leaves for the repair work Chuckles will indeed lock him out. Andrew knows this and that’s why he is staying while the repairs are made,” along with, “This is like a real life royal soap opera.”
