In a bold move, King Charles is set to push ahead with plans to evict Prince Andrew from Royal Lodge, his home of 30 years.
This decision comes as resurfaced allegations of the s**ual abuse of a 17-year-old girl in London have recently emerged.
These claims were reiterated in newly released court documents that link the Prince to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
According to insiders cited by the Daily Mail, these files have only strengthened the King’s resolve to remove Andrew from his 30-room mansion on the Windsor estate.
It is now clear that there is no hope for him to ever return to the front line of the Royal Fold.
“When it comes to any public role for his brother, there is no way back,” an insider revealed.
“There has always been an agreement that Andrew would be permitted to attend private and family events, as is his right.
But not public or official ones.
That has not changed.”
Renowned royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggests that the King should assign Andrew a new role, such as overseeing the royal residences, to ensure that he never returns to public-facing royal duties.
Plans for Andrew’s relocation had already been in place for some time, as Charles is keen on moving his brother into the smaller Frogmore cottage, which became vacant after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relinquished their occupancy last year.
However, Andrew has staunchly resisted these plans, having resided in the property since 2002.
Now, the King feels compelled to redouble his efforts to remove Andrew from the Royal Lodge.
A source close to the matter shared with the newspaper, “When it comes to family, it is difficult.
But this association is just never going to go away.
And that means he, Andrew, has to.”
The recent release of court documents includes a 2014 filing that alleges one of Epstein’s alleged s** slaves, known as Jane Doe III, claimed she was ordered to engage in intercourse with Prince Andrew during an orgy on Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, in the US Virgin Islands.
These documents, part of a 2015 lawsuit filed against Ghislaine Maxwell by Virginia Giuffre, allege that Jane Doe III was coerced into having s**ual relations with the prince when she was a minor, and that these encounters occurred in three different locations: London, at Ghislaine Maxwell’s apartment; New York; and Epstein’s private island, where an orgy involving numerous underage girls took place.
The newly unsealed documents also claim that Epstein instructed Jane Doe III to comply with the prince’s every demand.
Additionally, Jane Doe III accused Ghislaine Maxwell of facilitating Prince Andrew’s acts of s**ual abuse by acting as a madam for Epstein.
It is important to note that the duke has vehemently denied these accusations and has stated that he has no recollection of ever meeting Jane Doe III.
Buckingham Palace has previously declared these allegations to be categorically untrue.
Prince Andrew withdrew from public life amidst the controversy surrounding his friendship with Epstein and paid millions to settle a US civil s**ual assault case brought by Ms. Giuffre, a woman he claims to have never met.
However, this settlement did not include any admission of liability.
The royal has now been reported to the Metropolitan Police over the resurfaced allegations.
In response, the police stated, “We are aware of the release of court documents in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.
As with any matter, should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, we will assess it.
