Prince Andrew WILL not return to public duties
King Charles is ‘absolutely resolute’ that Prince Andrew will not return to public duties and there will be no ‘change in tack’ over his royal status, insiders have claimed.
The Duke of York, 63, was seen in a car with the Prince and Princess of Wales as the family travelled to church in Balmoral yesterday in what has been branded as a ‘public statement of togetherness’.
But while Andrew appeared to be well and truly back in the royal fold, experts say Charles remains firms there is ‘no possibility’ of him returning to royal duties.
A source told The Telegraph: ‘He has always been clear that the Duke is a much-loved member of the family, but that does not mean there will be a change in tack when it comes to his royal status.’
However, royal insiders allege that while Andrew will not return to public life, the King has made it clear ‘privately’ that he will ‘support his brother and help him get his life back on track’ – as evidenced by the Balmoral outing.
The disgraced duke, 63, was driven to church by Prince William, whose wife Catherine sat in the back seat.
They joined other family members at church as the Royal Family had their first summer break at the estate since the Queen’s death there a year ago.
The prince lost his official duties and his place in public life following the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal.
