King Charles is said to have avoided disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor despite being only two miles away. The 77-year-old decided to spend some time at Wood Farm following his highly successful visit to the US last week.

Wood Farm is said to be a short walk from Marsh Farm, where Andrew is currently living after moving from Windsor earlier this year. Andrew, 66, moved to the refurbished Marsh Farm on Easter Monday.

Although there was less than two miles between the brothers, the King decided to keep his distance from Andrew.

A source recently told the Mail: "Andrew feels that his departure from Royal Lodge was unnecessarily hasty.

"From his perspective, it was all done to appease the baying media and didn't need to be carried out in such a rush before his new accommodation at Marsh Farm was ready.

"The fact that no one else had taken occupancy of Royal Lodge is proof of that."

The source further claimed that the King is "really rubbing salt into the wounds by continuing to blank Andrew" while having been only a 10-minute walk away.

Andrew was stripped of his titles following outcry about his association with Epstein, who was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, and arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office in February.

The 66-year-old faces accusations of sharing sensitive information with Epstein while acting as a special representative for trade and investment between 2001 and 2011.

Andrew has denied any wrongdoing over his association with Epstein, but has not directly responded to the latest allegations.
