The end of his mother’s era could also mean the end of him…
Prince Andrew (61) keeps making negative headlines. The process of alleged abuse of plaintiff Virginia Guiffre (38) is rolling, former employees repeatedly attest to arrogance, bad behavior and suggestive behavior.
Brother Charles (73), who is already preparing for his succession to the throne, now has to deal with Andrew. And there the bald king is, according to a source close to him, probably rigorous: he wants to dump Andrew ice cold!
It was only in January that mother Queen Elizabeth II (95) had withdrawn all military ranks and royal patronage from Andrew. Nevertheless, Andrew, who is secretly considered the Queen’s favorite son, was allowed to roam freely in royal realms.

As soon as the Queen has abdicated (by her death or voluntarily) and hands over the scepter to brother Charles, this should finally end. Charles wants “Andrew out of sight and out of the picture,” writes the “Sun‘ according to the source.
And that includes Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson (62), who had always defended her children’s father in the negative press storm.
In concrete terms, this means that Andrew should no longer be seen at Windsor Castle! The source: “He has been warned to keep his head down. Charles doesn’t want Andrew to be photographed every other day, happy and waving as he’s being driven to the castle.”

The source cannot say whether the prince will also have to leave his residence, the Royal Lodge (also in Windsor), or whether Charles’ dislike will even lead to a city ban.
Apparently, however, Charles’ son William (39) and his wife Kate (40) have their eyes on the 31-room property. They at least want to move to the Windsor area so children George, 8, Charlotte, 6, and Louis, 3, can go to school nearby. The Royal Lodge would be spot on.

The source further claims that if Andrew has to leave Windsor, he could expect some sort of severance payment in the millions. However, the insider does not go into detail.
Nevertheless, the prince could get into financial difficulties. So the source doesn’t rule out the possibility that Andrew would remarry his Fergie if they were forced to fend for themselves.
The couple divorced in 1996 but have lived together at Royal Lodge since 2008.
► The fate of the two will probably solidify from March 10th. Because then Andrew is invited to New York to testify in the abuse process. There he is accused of forcing Virginia Guiffre, who was underage at the time, to have sex.
