The insider continued, If they do turn up, he wants them to keep a low profile and avoid making a spectacle of themselves. In his mind, the best outcome would be for them to simply blend into the background.”
Another tipster shared, "Charles has no wish to shame them, but his patience is wearing thin. The controversies keep coming back, and every time the monarchy takes the hit.
“He believes the best way forward is for Andrew and Sarah to stay out of sight so the attention and criticism eventually fade."
