Not welcome anywhere: Prince Andrew left isolated as ‘friends turn their backs’ on dis…
Prince Andrew has become increasingly isolated, with sources claiming that the disgraced royal “barely goes out” and is “not that welcome anywhere.”
The Duke of York has been keeping a low profile at his Windsor residence, with his social circle reportedly dwindling.
Though he is occasionally seen horse riding, the non-working royal’s public appearances have become rare since his controversial 2019 Newsnight interview.
A source close to the situation painted a picture of a lonely existence, highlighting how “he just doesn’t have that many friends any more.
Despite an ongoing royal feud with his brother, Prince Andrew will continue residing at his large Royal Lodge home in Windsor.
King Charles wanted his younger brother to relocate to Frogmore Cottage.
The King cut Andrew’s £1million annual allowance in an effort to evict the duke from the 30-room property.
Prince Andrew has since found alternative funding from a legitimate source, according to the keeper of the privy purse, Michael Stevens.
The 64-year-old has been stripped of his HRH titles and honorary military roles, a decision made by the late Queen.
He has been denied the right to wear his military uniform at several occasions, including during his mother’s funeral procession.
The fall has been particularly stark for Andrew, who served 22 years in the Royal Navy and once commanded widespread national respect.
Andrew’s fall from grace began with his infamous 2019 Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis.
The duke faced intense public criticism over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
His connection to Epstein had already cost him his trade envoy role after being photographed with the convicted paedophile in New York’s Central Park in 2010.
Despite his isolation, Prince Andrew was photographed attending a Balmoral church service last year alongside other royals.
He is expected to join the King and the rest of the Royal Family on their annual Christmas Day walk from Sandringham House to St Mary Magdalene Church in Norfolk again this year.
