Prince Andrew ‘will be kept out of royal circles’ by King Charles

Prince Andrew will reportedly be kept out of royal circles by his brother, now the monarch King Charles, as per a royal expert.

The disgraced Duke of York stepped out today, September 12, 2022, to walk behind the Queen’s coffin in a procession from Holyroodhouse Palace to St Giles’ Cathedral, where he was notably seen not wearing his military uniform.

Commenting on Andrew’s involvement in the Queen’s funeral proceedings, royal author Phil Dampier said that while Andrew, known as the Queen’s favourite, could play a ‘prominent role’, his brother, the new monarch King Charles, won’t allow him back into the royal family.

“The big question is whether or not this will enable him to get back into royal life. I have my doubts; I think King Charles and the new Prince of Wales will want to keep him out of royal circles in terms of official engagements,” said Dampier.

He then added: “At the moment, he is acting more as a son rather than a royal.”

Prince Andrew has been under constant scrutiny for the past couple of years after his connections with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein were revealed, and a civil lawsuit filed against him for sexual abuse.
