Senior Royals to Decide Next Steps Amid Spy Scandal Investigation
Prince Andrew’s remaining royal privileges may soon come to an end as King Charles III and senior royals convene to address the latest scandal involving the Duke of York and allegations of ties to a Chinese spy.
Following the controversy, Andrew reportedly withdrew from the royal family’s annual Christmas gathering at Sandringham, opting to remain alone at Royal Lodge. Meanwhile, King Charles and Prince William will lead a summit to determine the embattled Duke’s fate, with Catherine likely participating in the discussions.
“The drama and embarrassment with Andrew just never seem to end,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “He’s an absolute disaster with a knack for humiliating himself and the royals.”
King Charles has grown increasingly frustrated with his brother, whose past controversies include allegations of sexual misconduct and ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The latest espionage scandal, which carries potential national security implications, has only deepened the monarch’s impatience.
“It’s no secret Charles is already at the end of his rope,” the insider revealed, adding that severe action could follow if investigations uncover further incriminating evidence.
The Sandringham summit will likely focus on how to mitigate further humiliation and decide Andrew’s future role—or lack thereof—within the royal family. Protecting the monarchy’s integrity remains the King’s top priority.
As deliberations continue, Prince Andrew’s position appears increasingly untenable, signalling that his days of enjoying royal privileges may be numbered.
