King Charles is said to be increasingly worried as his “disgraced” brother Andrew struggles to find a lawyer willing to represent him amid growing pressure from US lawmakers.
According to Radar Online, the former Duke of York is calling multiple legal teams as Congress pushes for him to testify about his past connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
However, an insider has revealed that several firms have refused to work for Andrew due to fears of reputational damage.
"He's ringing around as pressure intensifies from Congress, but lawyers won't touch him. They don't want the reputational damage, not with Congress coming after him,” a palace insider told the publication.
“Every firm sees a runaway train of disaster they do not want to board,” they continued, with another adding, "One team told him flat out they wouldn't represent him for any price."
Pressure grew after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee ordered Andrew to testify about Epstein, citing his “longstanding and well-documented friendship.
Now, Palace sources shared that King Charles is focused on protecting the monarchy and expects Andrew to secure credible representation.
"If Andrew imagines he can slip past Congress like he tried to avoid consequences here, he's wrong. This is heading one way only,” they said.
“Charles will expect him to secure proper legal counsel if it gets to that point, but finding anyone credible willing to take him on is looking nearly impossible. He's become utterly toxic."
Speaking on the matter, a veteran attorney said, "No one wants their firm's name next to Andrew's. He's poisonous now, professionally and politically. And he knows it."
