Following his high-profile controversies, Prince Andrew was removed from his royal duties.
According to Hilary Fordwich, a royal scholar, the Duke of York has chosen to remain anonymous in order to prevent additional embarrassment.
“Prince Andrew has voiced to friends that he’s embarrassed [by] his situation,” she stated. “The declining disrepair and decay… of his residence has become a spectacle, a visual reflection of the broader fallout from his despicable involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and further fall from royal favor.”
To make matters worse, King Charles III allegedly excluded him from decisions pertaining to the throne.
“The definite is that for Andrew, there is no return to being a major royal figure, nor even being part of the family ever,” the specialist stated.
