Royal Family News: King Charles Unhappy His Siblings Had A Party Before His Birthday, Shocking Reason He Wasn’t There

British royal family news reveals that King Charles is miffed over a family event which he chose not to attend. So why is he upset if he wasn’t even there? Apparently, it has to do with his disgraced brother, Andrew the Duke of York. The event went down last weekend and several other family members were there.

A source spilled, “King Charles was said to be displeased that Edward and Anne had been publicly meeting up with Andrew and wanted it made clear that he had not been part of the shoot.

To be clear, Andrew is indubitably persona non grata when it comes to representing the monarchy. He has been stripped of his titles and patronages and is expected to sit in the shadows while the non-disgraced family members party and appear on behalf of the King.

At the same time that King Charles is looking to distance himself from his younger brother Andrew, is he also experiencing tension with younger brother Prince Edward? Some royal experts think this to be the case because, “Edward had been expected to inherit the Duke of Edinburgh title following his father’s death, and still doesn’t have it—which a source close to the royal family icily said hasn’t gone unnoticed.” For those keeping tally, Charles has also not indicated whether or not he will grant titles to his grandchildren Lili and Archie, the offspring of Harry and Meghan the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
