00:00King Charles warned by aides over handling of Prince Andrew.
00:05Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is facing a difficult new low as preparations move forward.
00:10For his permanent relocation from Royal Lodge to Marsh Farm, a move ordered by King Charles.
00:15After months of internal debate, palace sources fear the forced relocation.
00:20Following his loss of royal titles and duties could severely affect his mental well-being.
00:25Work is underway to refurbish Marsh Farm as Andrew prepares to downsize from Royal Lodge.
00:30With the move expected in the coming months around his 66th birthday.
00:35Sources say the transition has been devastating.
00:38With Royal Lodge in turmoil,
00:40As he faces the reality of his situation.
00:43He has reluctantly accepted that he cannot
00:45delay any longer.
00:46But the adjustment has been brutal.
00:48Marsh Farm is so
00:50limited that there is no way it can accommodate the lifestyle or possessions that defined his life until now.
00:55And that realization has hit him hard, the source said.
00:59Friends say
01:00Prince Andrew's move to the refurbished Marsh Farm has been deeply humiliating.
01:04With a palace
01:05the source describing it as
01:07banishment.
01:08And a clear sign of his fall from grace.
01:10He has also surrendered firearms from Royal Lodge after discussions with police and the King's privacy.
01:15A source said
01:17The discussion was extremely uncomfortable.
01:20And emotions ran high.
01:22Andrew reacted with anger initially.
01:24But as it became
01:25clear there was no room to argue.
01:26He was forced to accept that the decision had already been made and that
01:30he had no real option but to comply.
01:32There are growing concerns within the royal family
01:35the King's approach has become too severe.
01:37The overriding concern is that
01:39Andrew is being
01:40pushed into isolation in a way that could prove harmful.
01:43Princess Anne has made it known
01:45that she believes the King is in danger of overreaching.
01:48And Prince Edward broadly agrees with that view
01:50The isolation worries around Andrew are compounded by the lack of staff accommodation at
01:55Marsh Farm.
01:56A palace source said
01:57There is a genuine fear that the sheer
02:00reconciliation attached to Marsh Farm could push him beyond his limits.
02:03A number of aides feel the King has
02:05crossed a line
02:06And they are deeply frightened about the potential damage this could inflict on Andrew's men
02:10mental health.
