Pressure is mounting on King Charles to distance himself from his disgraced brother, Prince Andrew, following the unredacted mention of his name in court documents related to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

In the wake of this revelation, calls are growing for Andrew to be banned from all future royal gatherings.

Alongside other high-profile figures such as Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Leonardo DiCaprio, Andrew was named as an associate of Epstein.

It is important to note that there is no suggestion that those listed were aware of Epstein’s criminal activities or participated in any wrongdoing.

According to a royal source within Buckingham Palace, there seems to be no way back for Andrew.

The prince had been hoping for a return to public life, having previously withdrawn due to the controversy surrounding his association with Epstein.

In fact, he paid millions to settle a civil s**ual assault case brought by Virginia Giuffre in the United States.

However, it is crucial to highlight that the settlement did not include any admission of liability, and Prince Andrew vehemently denies all allegations against him.

The same royal source informed the Daily Mirror that King Charles has no choice but to completely sever ties with his brother.

Andrew’s connection to Epstein and the constant stream of information regarding Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have cast a dark shadow over the royal family.

Consequently, Andrew should not be allowed to appear in public alongside the king or any other members of the royal family.

This proposed ban on Andrew would mark a significant change of heart for King Charles.

Previously, he had instructed his family to welcome Andrew back into the fold, much to the dismay of Prince William.

Over Christmas, Charles and Camilla celebrated at Sandringham with Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

Additionally, Charles disregarded William’s concerns about Andrew’s association with Epstein, warning that it would forever tarnish the monarchy.

The Prince of Wales feared that Andrew’s return could trigger a fresh public crisis.

In another blow to Prince Andrew, he has recently been reported to the Metropolitan Police over resurfaced allegations of s**ual abuse involving a 17-year-old girl in London.

These claims were reiterated in the newly released court documents.

As the pressure intensifies, it remains to be seen how King Charles will respond to the growing calls for him to distance himself from his brother.
