Prince Andrew has lost everything in the abuse allegations. His daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are said to have tried to save their father’s royal place, as is now known.
Prince Andrew, 62, has been accused of sexually abusing Virginia Roberts Giuffre, 39, on multiple occasions when he was just 17. The allegations shook the British royal family and resulted in Queen Elizabeth, 96, stripping her son of all military titles and patronage. There was no trial, as Andrew was able to settle out of court with his plaintiff in February 2022, but his time as Senior Royal was over. Since then, the 62-year-old has lived a secluded life in Windsor – far from the public eye.
His brother Prince Charles, 73, is said to have taken care of this, although Princess Eugenie, 32, and Princess Beatrice, 34, are said to have “begged” him to let their father return.
Prince Andrew asked the Queen for a new role
Recently, Prince Andrew is said to have paid a visit to his mother at Balmoral Castle, as reported by The Sun. He is said to have spent three days in Scotland to discuss with the Queen how he could find a way back into royal life. “He is 62 years old and knows he will not be able to spend the rest of his days at the Royal Lodge in Windsor walking and riding his dogs. He has spoken to the Queen about what he is doing with his life can,” a source told the British news outlet.
“He knows he abandoned his mother, but he hasn’t been convicted of any crime. He wants to try to find a way back,” another source said. So Andrew hopes Queen Elizabeth can influence Prince Charles and Prince William, 40 – neither of whom see a royal future for Andrew. But Charles apparently remained steadfast, because Eugenie and Beatrice also tried their luck.
Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice met with Prince Charles for crisis talks
According to “The Sun”, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice met with Prince Charles at his estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a few days ago to discuss their father’s future. Shortly before that, Andrew himself had been with his brother. The heir to the throne has listened to the arguments of all three, but the requests “fell on deaf ears,” reveals an insider, adding: “There is no change.”
