YOU have got to feel for the King. We are days into 2024 and Prince Andrew’s lurid past is again causing huge embarrassment.
A few days ago, the disgraced duke was seen walking to church with Charles, along with his ex-wife Fergie.

The King would be wise to cut ties with his brother. Andrew is a liability and this is not going awaySplash
Most believed the King’s gesture of goodwill a good move.
It showed the monarch willing to give his brother a second chance, at least for private family events.
Last year, he gave Andrew an apparent reprieve about losing his royal mansion.
He wanted Andrew to move out of the 31-room Royal Lodge.
Andrew won the day after assuring the King he had funds for much-needed repairs.
But his staying put and being seen alongside the other royals is not a good look.
Private events are still public, with press pens set out for media.
I understand why the King did it.
He knows his brother has been broken by his loss of reputation and is still depressed.
But now, with Andrew’s friendship to Jeffrey Epstein plastered across the front pages, it doesn’t seem a smart play.
Andrew, who denies all the claims against him, was forced to step down from public life over the Virginia Giuffre scandal.
He is now accused of groping another victim in newly opened court papers. Prince Andrew denies all wrongdoing.
He no longer has official duties.
Why then should he be allowed to remain in this lavish royal property when he contributes nothing?
