A source said that, despite his frustration with the Duke of York, Charles has accepted that he can't 'divorce or sack' his younger brother, as 'there will always be a bond of blood'.
The King is understood to be furious that Prince Andrew has plunged the monarchy into a major scandal – with his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy tarnishing the reputation of the entire Royal Family.
‘The Palace has behaved the best it possibly can with a difficult relation,’ the source said last night. The latest scandal erupted on Thursday when it was revealed that a ‘close confidant’ of the Duke of York was an alleged Chinese spy who has been banned from entering the UK after an investigation by MI5.
Royal sources are concerned the mounting controversy threatens to overshadow the good work of the King and Queen Camilla as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales. It also comes less than two weeks before the King’s Christmas message.
