King Charles is being urged to take tougher action against Prince Andrew after a new controversy said to have made the Duke’s position ‘untenable’.
While the King has already cut Andrew’s public funding, insiders said Online speed cameras that he is now considering stricter measures to completely distance the monarchy from his younger brother.
Andrew could find himself in a position where his remaining royal privileges are removed and he is barred from accessing royal properties like Windsor and Sandringham.
This could lead to the start of rare legal proceedings aimed at stripping him of his title as Duke of York.
It comes after it was revealed that “disgraced” Duke remained in contact with Jeffrey Epstein even after he said their relationship had ended.
The message, believed to have been sent in February 2011, shows Andrew telling the convicted sex offender: “We’re in this together.”
“This latest revelation has made Andrew’s position completely untenable,” the source told the newspaper.
They continued: “The king is under immense pressure from his advisors and senior courtiers to act decisively.
“There is a feeling that if he does not do so, the scandal will continue to spill into the public domain and tarnish everything that the monarchy is trying to rebuild.”
The insider further noted that the monarch “already stopped public funding for Andrew, but that wasn’t enough. He is now looking at every possible lever he can pull.
“This could involve removing his access to royal homes like Windsor or Sandringham and ensuring he is excluded from all but the most private family gatherings.
“The phrase used behind closed doors is ‘cut his wings completely’.”
