Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's latest comeback plan rejected by the palace

King Charles recently shared the happy news that Princess Eugene, the daughter of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson is expecting her third child.

While the announcement hinted that Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice are still embraced by the monarchy, the palace made sure to not mention Andrew or Sarah, who lost their titles due to Epstein ties.

Now, sources believe that Andrew hopes to leverage the birth of his grandchild to weasel his way back into the royal family. But, the palace is said to be actively developing game plan to keep the ex-Prince and his ex-wife away from the spotlight.

The source tells Radar Online, "Despite the good news about Eugenie, they don't want Andrew and Sarah back in the spotlight hobnobbing with the royals at events."

"A public showing of either one of them will rankle [future king] Prince William, who wants nothing to do with his aunt and uncle," they added.

Furthermore, the royal expert Hilary Fordwich also told the outlet that Buckingham palace will make sure there is "no public role" for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the younger brother of King Charles.

She said, "There will be no public role for him ever again, and by the time there is a baptism for this child, if he is there, it will be something very quiet and very private."

Adding that he will always attempt to get back into the field, yet "won't be accepted."
