Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's move to his potential new home on the Sandringham Estate is a way for King Charles to control him, according to a royal commentator.
The former Duke of York is tipped to move to Marsh Farm with the Norfolk property currently undergoing renovation work.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams believes that it was the right move by the King to let his brother stay in Sandringham.
Speaking to GB News, Mr Fitzwilliams said: "I think it was only reasonable [for Andrew to stay in Sandringham], given the circumstances, he had to stay somewhere. That's one way of, in a sense, controlling him."
Andrew's move to the Sandringham Estate has been described as a 'good idea' to help 'control him'.

The royal commentator explained that Marsh Farm may not be Andrew's only residency following his departure from Royal Lodge.
He told the People's Channel: "He could end up in Dubai. It would appear that he'll have an English base, and having ensured that he left Royal Lodge because that just wasn't tenable.
"It's certainly reasonable that the King would find accommodation for Andrew, and Sandringham seems like a good idea."
Since the turn of the year, workers have been at Marsh Farm in Wolferton, erecting a two-metre wooden barrier and shielding areas where the existing hedgerow provides insufficient cover.

Activity has been visible on the site, with an upstairs light illuminated in the main residence, and individuals spotted moving about inside.
Construction equipment was operating on the grounds, whilst a labourer was observed travelling between the principal building and an adjacent outbuilding.
Marsh Farm sits approximately two miles from Sandringham House, the King's Norfolk residence.
The property has stood unoccupied for several years and requires substantial work before it can serve as a suitable dwelling.
Workers have been at Marsh Farm throughout the course of January.
| PAThe property is on a floodplain, and residents have been advised to sign up for flood alerts in case local measures fail to mitigate the risks.
A flood risk assessment from last year for Wolferton Barns, which is just metres from Marsh Farm, stated: "The Environment Agency operates a flood warning system to enable householders to protect life or act to manage the effect of flooding on property.
"Failure of Wolferton Pumping Station may occur due to long-term mechanical breakdown or power supply being disrupted.
"If conditions put properties and land at risk of flooding, emergency action would be taken using temporary pumping equipment."
Residents nearby to Marsh Farm have been advised to sign up for flood alerts.
| PAA vehicle from the pest control company, Command Pest Control, has also been seen at the property.
The firm holds a royal warrant that operates across East Anglia, specialising in eliminating unwanted rodents, including rats and mice, as well as squirrels and wasp nests.
Rodents pose a persistent challenge across the Sandringham estate due to a longstanding prohibition on keeping cats at the King's properties.
The late Queen Elizabeth II implemented this restriction out of concern that felines would hunt the chicks of game birds bred on the grounds.
