Prince Andrew days in royal family numbered as Prince William decides future

Prince William has made a final decision about Prince Andrew's future in the royal family following his back-to-back scandals.

The Prince of Wales will not allow his uncle to take any royal role when he becomes king.

According to The Sunday Times, William sees Andrew as a "risk" and "threat" to the royal family, leading to the Duke of York's fading existence in the royal fold.

From his connections with Jeffrey Epstein and alleged involvement with a Chinese spy, Prince Andrew brought the royals in a negative light on and off.

Notably, William also reported avoiding coming face to face with Andrew by skipping the royal gathering at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, on Easter Sunday.

King Charles invited his brother but the Prince and Princess of Wales spent the occasion during a family holiday in Norfolk.

Moreover, Andrew's controversies proved to be a setback for his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie as they did not give key tasks in Charles' reign.

There are claims that the York sisters could be valuable in Prince William's monarchy, following a slimmed-down monarchy approach.
