It was only days ago that the world saw the inclusion of Prince Andrew in the Royal Family's Christmas parade at Sandringham.
And now on January 4 2023, a New York court released papers about paedophile Jeffrey Epstein which claim that the Duke of York has committed 'acts of sexual abuse'. As per a report, these "accusations which include groping a young woman's breast and taking part in an underage orgy."
These allegations have now appeared to be the final straw in King Charles' decision to keep the Duke away from royal duties and out of any public activities regarding the royal family. As it is, the King had been keen on 'slimming down' the royal family with the primary focus being on his sons, the Prince of Wales William and his wife the Princess of Wales Catherine and their children.
There were already plans to evict him from his ten-bedroom Windsor home since 2003 and to settle him to a smaller residence in keeping with his 'downgraded' status.
Now with this damning list of evidence, it is being said that the King is now more determined that before to remove Andrew completely and prevent him from ever returning to performing royal duties ever again.
As per the documents quoted in a report, "Andrew... is mentioned 69 times in the new files, along with dozens of high-profile associates of the late paedophile financier. They include a deposition from Jane Doe 3 – who was later identified as Ms Giuffre – who claims she was forced to have sex with the duke on three occasions, including when she was 17."
