Prince Edward is reportedly looking out for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
After the former Duke of York was essentially banished from The Firm over his connection to Jeffrey Epstein, his younger brother has been the one checking in on him.
“Prince Edward was the first and only member of the royal family to visit,” an insider told The Sun.

“Andrew has been ignored by everyone since he left Royal Lodge, including his daughters [Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie] and ex-wife [Sarah Ferguson], who have stayed away,” the source claimed.
While Edward is concerned for Andrew, he’s still appalled by his older sibling’s association with the late criminal.
“Edward has already publicly made his feelings clear when he expressed concern for the victims,” the insider made clear.
Earlier this year, Andrew was moved from Windsor to his temporary home at Woods Farm before he relocates to Marsh Farm.

“Edward was meant to be staying at Wood Farm as he regularly books it for Easter, but his brother was there,” the source said.
Although repairs were happening at the 66-year-old’s new residence, he is reportedly able to move in at any time.
“Andrew has been dragging his heels. He could have moved by now but has been reluctant. Edward has had a quiet word with his brother,” the insider claimed.
Andrew was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly giving Epstein confidential information while he was the U.K.’s trade envoy.

“I hear he’s not even allowed to go out the front door to go riding,” royal author Andrew Lownie told TalkTV via Daily Express.
“Well, [he’s spending his time doing] what he did before really, which is to basically mooch around all morning in his dressing gown and watch films,” the expert added.
