Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s scandal is very hard for the Royals to come out of.

The ex Prince, who is being dragged over his scandalous friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has caused intense hardship for the Royals.

“This crisis around Prince Andrew—ex-Prince Andrew, as I suppose we really should call him—has metastasized to such a level, has become so extreme, that it feels like it’s going to be very hard for the royal family just to come back to its original shape and pretend that nothing has happened,” Tom Sykes said on The Daily Beast Podcast.

Speaking to GB News, Royal expert Jennie Bond says: "The Royal Family are quite understandably peeved about the whole thing. In all of their statements, they say that their thoughts are with the victims and not really about themselves, but having said that, they are clearly worried about the damage to the monarchy that this is doing and continuing to do. The questions are growing and I'm not sure that they are not going to go away. I am not sure that they have done enough."

Jennie replied: "I thought that when they forced the ex-Duke to give up his title and then stripped him of all his titles and booted him out of his house, I thought 'what more can they do?'
