King Charles Accused of Shielding Andrew as Claims Emerge He Is Kept Away From Police Scrutiny
King Charles is facing renewed criticism as explosive claims suggest he may still be protecting Andrew Mountbatten Windsor from a full police investigation, despite publicly distancing himself from his disgraced brother. The allegations come at a time when the British royal family is already under intense pressure following the release of the Epstein files.
The monarch had previously appeared to deliver the final blow to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor by stripping him of royal roles and cutting off formal ties. This move was widely interpreted as a firm response to mounting scandals and growing public anger directed at the monarchy.
As the Epstein files dropped, backlash intensified and critics became increasingly vocal. King Charles himself was even heckled during public engagements, a rare and uncomfortable sight that underscored the depth of public frustration surrounding the issue.
Given the King tough stance in removing Andrew from royal life, it has raised eyebrows that the Palace is now being accused of quietly shielding him from law enforcement. According to reports, this alleged protection is rooted in fear of what deeper investigations could uncover.
Daily Beast royal editor Tom Sykes claims that King Charles is walking a dangerous line. While Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been effectively banished from royal duties, sources suggest the King is reluctant to allow police involvement that could open what one insider described as a Pandora box.
A royal staffer reportedly told the Royalist that the monarchy has shielded Andrew from accountability for decades. According to this source, calls for a police investigation are unlikely to change that long standing instinct within palace walls.
The staffer claimed that protecting Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has always been seen as protecting the institution itself. Allowing formal questioning, they suggested, could unravel years of carefully managed narratives.
A friend of King Charles echoed similar concerns, describing the entire situation as a nightmare for the monarch. While deeply troubling, the friend reportedly believes that matters would only worsen if Andrew were to face court proceedings.
The source added that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor could inflict enormous reputational damage on the monarchy if subjected to full legal scrutiny. In their view, the risks outweigh the benefits, even as public outrage grows.

Journalist Rob Shuter has also weighed in, citing palace insiders who claim that no one within the royal household wants Andrew questioned by police. According to these insiders, the instinct to protect remains deeply ingrained.
Shuter reported that King Charles prefers the matter to be handled internally rather than by authorities. The aim, sources say, is to keep any further developments away from official investigations and public courtrooms.
This approach, however, is not unanimously supported within the royal family. Prince William is said to be the lone senior royal pushing for a very different strategy when it comes to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
According to insiders, the Prince of Wales believes continued protection is deeply damaging. One source quoted by Shuter claimed that William views his uncle as radioactive and believes shielding him only makes the entire family appear complicit.
Prince William reportedly fears that failing to act decisively will stain the monarchy for generations. From his perspective, accountability is no longer optional if the institution hopes to survive with credibility intact.
The divide highlights a growing rift in how senior royals view crisis management. While King Charles appears focused on containment and damage control, William is said to be prioritizing long term trust and transparency.
As scrutiny continues to mount, the British royal family finds itself trapped between past habits and future survival. Whether King Charles can protect the monarchy without appearing to protect Andrew Mountbatten Windsor remains a question that refuses to fade.
With public patience wearing thin, critics argue that any perception of shielding will only deepen mistrust. The coming weeks may prove decisive in determining whether the monarchy can truly move on or whether this crisis will define King Charles reign.
