King Charles is reportedly very upset about a family gathering that took place last weekend, and shockingly the reason why has nothing to do with leaky pens.

According to a new report in The Daily Mail, Charles' siblings Princess Anne and Prince Edward (as well as other members of the royal family) gathered together at Windsor for a shooting party just a couple of days before Charles' 74th birthday. And apparently disgraced royal Prince Andrew was also at the event, which Charles was not thrilled about.

A source tells the Daily Mail that King Charles decided not to attend the shoot, and is unhappy that Andrew was invited.

"King Charles was said to be displeased that Edward and Anne had been publicly meeting up with Andrew and wanted it made clear that he had not been part of the shoot. Anne and Edward had been privately concerned about Andrew and wanted to check on him. But Charles’s view is that he should not be in the public eye. His Majesty was not thrilled at all."

FYI, the outlet reports that Andrew is expected to be at Sandringham for Christmas with his family, but will not be allowed to attend the royals' annual walk on Christmas day.

Meanwhile, it sounds like things are slightly tense between King Charles and Prince Edward. Mostly because Edward had been expected to inherit the Duke of Edinburgh title following his father's death, and still doesn't have it—which a source close to the royal family "icily" said "hasn’t gone unnoticed."

TBD on why Charles hasn't given his younger brother the title, but sounds like the holidays over in Sandringham this year are going to be all kinds of tense.
