Duty-bound King Charles still forced to comply with Queen Elizabeth’s wishes?

King Charles is still unable to fully step out of his mother, Queen Elizabeth’s shadow, as a royal expert has now uttered claims of continued obligations.

Following the latest debacle of a leaked e-mail from Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein, dated around 2011, the King is likely to encounter further problems in curtailing public outcry against his younger brother.

However, royal expert and biographer Ingrid Seawood countered that his majesty will not be able to completely sideline the Duke of York, as he was entrusted by the late Queen to “to look after” the disgraced royal.

“Now, I think his hands are quite tied because – it is my opinion only – I don’t know this, but his mother obviously wanted Charles to look after Andrew,” she deliberated during a conversation with GB News.

She further speculated that the Queen knew his younger son “has had a lot of problems”, which is why “his care” is the reigning monarch’s responsibility.

“Because otherwise I can’t imagine that Charles wouldn’t have felt obliged to get Andrew out of there,” the expert said.

This scenario, Seawood claimed, has bound King Charles “between his mother’s wishes and his situation as King and Head of State.”

Meanwhile, Prince Andrew’s leaked e-mail to his old acquaintance and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein revealed that the royal told him “we are in this together” — a year after he claimed, during his 2019 BBC interview, that he had halted correspondence with the late offender.
