King Charles is "letting his feelings" towards Prince Andrew known, former BBC royal reporter Michael Cole has claimed.
The Duke of York is refusing to move out of his home Royal Lodge, despite the King wanting him to move to Frogmore Cottage, making the King pull a "radical move".
Speaking to GB News, Cole said: "This is a radical move by His Majesty."
He added: "The Royal Lodge is a Georgian House that is three storeys high and set in the middle of Windsor Great Park, surrounded by trees and beautiful gardens.
Prince Andrew lives in Royal Lodge PA"Prince Andrew still lives there and strangely enough his ex-wife also lives there.
"The King wants his younger brother to move to Frogmore Cottage, which was done up at great expense for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but they decided that Canada and then America were more homely for them.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
"It's a problem because Prince Andrew has a lease, He has a 75-year repairing lease, which means he has to look after the place.
"Now The King can't move him out legally, but he's letting his feelings know by removing his security.
"He's let the security people who provide the security for Royal Lodge know that their contract will not be renewed when it expires.
"Now Prince Andrew is going to look at this very, very unhappy way."

King Andrew's private security has been paid for by the King since he lost his funded police protection in 2022, due to the fact he is no longer a working royal.
According to the Sun on Sunday, members of the security detail have been informed that their contracts will not be renewed from November this year.
A source told the publication: "Everyone is speculating this means the Duke will have to leave the Royal Lodge, because what other reason could there be to take his security away?"

A source told the Express: "Andrew has hardly left Royal Lodge since Christmas so he's very much looking forward to getting away with the rest of the family at Balmoral."
