The king last year ousted the former prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, from the Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate near London over his ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew, 66, was stripped of his royal titles, and moved to a smaller house on the monarch's Sandringham Estate in eastern England while Charles continues to support him .
