The King is not expected to force the Duke of York out of his Royal Lodge home on the Windsor estate, according to a source.
An associate close to Prince Andrew has said that “blood is thicker than water,” for the Royal Family despite pressure from other Palace officials.
It was speculated last week that the King would push his brother to move out of his family home after Prince Andrew was named on a list of over 150 people associated with Jeffrey Epstein.
The source said: “The King is somebody with a high level of integrity. There are people in the royal household who would take a more aggressive stance, but in that family, blood is thicker than water.”

The duke has lived at his 30-room home for 20 years and has a lease with the Crown Estate that allows him to stay at his residence until 2078.
Now there are pressures for the prince to relocate to Frogmore Cottage, a five-bedroom house on the Windsor estate, which was previously occupied by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The associate of the duke said: “It’s a very unattractive proposition to withdraw security to kick out your brother and I’m sure the King would never allow that, even if it was suggested to him.”
The duke is not expected to return to public life anytime soon “unless there is a significant turnaround in the public perception of him.”

GB News panellist Emma Woolf discussed the prince’s living situation with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson who still lives with the duke.
Woolf said that “the court of public opinion” have made-up their mind about Prince Andrew.
She continued: "He is living in Royal Lodge at the taxpayers behest basically.
"It's a real thorn in Charles' side, this difficult troublesome younger brother. It's only going to get worse.
Prince Andrew has two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
