King Charles and Prince William’s will have to be in the same room as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor during an upcoming event.
His Majesty, who has banished his younger brother from public life, would have to put up with him for niece, Princess Beatrice’s daughter’s christening.
Speaking exclusively to Reach, former Royal butler Hugh Grant elaborates: "Beatrice's daughter's christening is coming up this week, which will likely see Andrew reunited with his wider family."
He continued: "As with any royal christening, members of the extended family will be there, so I imagine King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Kate will have been invited."
"And of course, as the new arrival's grandfather, Andrew will likely have a key role—even if there are reports that his relationship with Beatrice isn't strong at the moment.
"It will be very awkward for certain members of the family, especially the King and Prince William. They made the decision to strip Andrew of his titles, so the reunion will be very awkward. It's a very, very tricky situation.
"It's possible that senior members of the family will keep a distance. Conversations will happen in advance, as they won't want anything to go wrong on the day.
"But the King and William are still extremely close to Beatrice, and they will want to be part of this special occasion."
