Royal Family News – Andrew Was Blindsided
The outlet reports that Andrew and Charles were alone when the news was conveyed. Up until this point Andrew reportedly held the belief that he had a role to play despite his association with convicted sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In February he agreed to an out of court settlement with one of the pair’s victims, who claimed Andrew sexually abused her when she was a minor. He denied the accusation.

The source added, “Naive as it may sound, he always had hopes of regaining his position as a senior Royal. At the meeting, Charles told him that he can go off and have a good life, a nice life, but that his public life as a Royal is at an end. He was told, ‘You have to accept this.’”
Royal Family News – Andrew Must Accept His Fate
Andrew’s fall from grace was punctuated in January with the stripping of his military affiliations and Royal patronages. It came after his try to throw out a civil lawsuit brought by Epstein’s former ‘sex slave’ Virginia Giuffre, was unsuccessful.
“The Duke vehemently denied her claims but, at the time, Buckingham Palace had said that the decision to strip Andrew of his titles was made by the late Queen. He also lost his right to be addressed as ‘His Royal Highness’ in an official capacity.”

It was subsequently reported that Andrew gave the plaintiff, “a reported £12 million without accepting liability, and had believed this would allow him to return to Royal duties.” Some of the money was reportedly given to Andrew by Queen Elizabeth.
