In the past few years, two Royal Family members became major headaches for King Charles III and Prince William.
For very different reasons, Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have fallen from grace in the eyes of the King and the heir to the throne.
Prince Harry made things less complicated for the Royal Family by packing his belongings and moving away with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their young son, Archie.
However, for Prince Andrew, the situation remains shameful and pressing. Queen Elizabeth II‘s favorite son was embroiled in the Jeffrey Epstein massive sex scandal.
The Duke of York has been accused and dragged to court by Virginia Giuffre. The accuser received a $14 million settlement from Prince Andrew after revealing that she was forced to have sex with the royal in 2001 when she was 17 years old.
Giuffre said the encounter with Prince Andrew occurred while she was sex trafficked by Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein.
The 62-year-old British prince was severely punished by his mother and his royal relatives for the shame he brought to the monarchy.
The disgraced Duke was forced to step down from royal duties in 2019 and stripped of his honorary military titles.
His mother dearest also terminated all his honorary leadership roles in his patronages, and his title “his royal highness” was removed.
However, Prince Andrew is a shameless fighter who is determined to restore his name and reputation. He has put in place a “war chest” to attack his victim via lawsuits and leaks in the media to rehabilitate his image.
Over the weekend, Prince Andrew’s camp thought it was a good idea to push this bizarre story to prove his innocence via Fox News: “The Telegraph ran a photo provided by acquaintances of Ghislaine Maxwell showing two adults crammed together into a bathtub. The Maxwell family claimed that the cramped posture of the two individuals — who wore masks of Prince Andrew and Giuffre — proved Giuffre’s story was false.”
This week, The Sun confirmed that Virginia Giuffre would be slapped with a $ 100 million (£ 81 million) lawsuit if she writes about her sex allegations against him in her new book that is due out in the spring of 2023.
A source close to Prince Andrew said: “The minute she writes anything that repeats the original claims against him, she will be hit with a $ 100 million (£ 81 million) defamation lawsuit. Andrew is ready to go on the attack. Then her claims will be put under scrutiny in a court of law.”
Prince Andrew is hoping to follow the late Queen’s suggestion and dive into charitable endeavors to restore his brand.
A source close to Prince Andrew told the Independent: “Andrew’s mother suggested the route forward was taking on a charitable cause. Other members of the family agreed and saw it as his only way to rehabilitation.”
King Charles and Prince William have stepped forward to put a stop to Prince Andrew’s shameless efforts to clean up his toxic reputation.
A close friend of King Charles told the Daily Beast, His Majesty is against his brother’s plans and added: “Charles has made it clear there is no way back to public life for Andrew. If he wants to go and do charitable work, that will be up to him.”
The King and the Prince of Wales view Prince Andrew as irredeemable and have declared him to be reprehensible for his actions and have taken concrete measures to further punish him.
The Duke of York is being mercilessly handled by Prince William and King Charles. Prince Andrew, who is guilty as sin of ruining the royal name, has earned himself the title of persona non grata and has been thrown out of Buckingham Palace for at least ten years or forever.
The fallen prince no longer has access to his suite of rooms at the historical building. King Charles and his son have requested that Prince Andrew empty his royal apartment and office.
The Palace is under a ten-year renovation plan, and that is being used as the main excuse/ruse to get rid of Prince Andrew.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News this about the Duke‘s ten-year ban from the massive building: “If it is true that he no longer occupies rooms at Buckingham Palace, though this will doubtless be explained away as part of the 10-year renovation of the Palace, it is a sign that King Charles and the Prince of Wales are determined that he should in the future be on the periphery of royal life. They are all too aware of the public’s hostility toward him [and] the aura of entitlement… He does not seem inclined to live quietly, privately, possibly to help run the royal estates, which would make sense.”
He added: “Since he does not appear to take advice, he remains a danger to the image of the Monarchy as he is disinclined to live in the shadows. The institution has to cope with vengeful attacks from an embittered Harry and Meghan. But Andrew, with his refusal to accept what he brought about by his disastrous friendships and personal decisions, is also a danger to it.”
Prince Andrew will find ways to fight back.
