In a decisive move to manage a persistent family crisis, the reigning monarch has arranged for the relocation of his younger brother to a secluded property on the Sandringham estate. This action follows the brother’s removal from his previous Windsor residence last year, a consequence of his widely publicized association with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Sources close to the family indicate the decision is a strategic effort to provide necessary support while minimizing public exposure. The individual, who previously held a senior royal title, will reside at a cottage on the Norfolk grounds. He is reported to receive a private allowance for living costs, with security and moving expenses also covered.
The relocation was reportedly accelerated due to recent events. The release of a substantial cache of documents related to the Epstein case, which included references to the former royal and his ex-wife, coincided with continued public appearances by the individual in Windsor. This combination is said to have prompted the King to insist on an immediate move to the more remote location.
“The priority is stability and discretion,” a source explained. “Past attempts at independent ventures have led to further complications. This arrangement is seen as the most prudent path forward.”
The former royal has consistently denied any misconduct regarding his ties to Epstein. His ex-wife, who had shared the Windsor home, will not be joining him at Sandringham.
The ongoing situation briefly surfaced during a recent public walkabout, where the King was confronted with a shouted question about his brother. He did not acknowledge the query and continued engaging with well-wishers. The episode underscores the delicate balance the monarchy seeks to maintain as it addresses this private matter within a very public sphere.
