King Charles is being urged to take tougher action against Prince Andrew after a fresh controversy which has reportedly left the duke’s position “untenable”.
While the King has already cut Andrew’s public funding, insiders told Radar Online that he is now considering tougher measures to completely distance the monarchy from his younger brother.
These could include removing his remaining royal privileges, excluding him from royal estates such as Windsor and Sandringham and even beginning the rare legal process of stripping him of his title as Duke of York.
This comes after it was revealed that the “disgraced” Duke of York stayed in contact with Jeffrey Epstein even after saying their relationship had ended.
The message, allegedly sent in February 2011, shows Andrew telling the convicted sex offender: “We’re in this together.”
“This latest revelation has made Andrew’s position completely untenable.
“The King is under immense pressure from advisors and senior courtiers to act decisively. There is a feeling that if he does not, the scandal will continue to enter the public domain and tarnish everything the monarchy is trying to rebuild.”
