Prince William and Princess Kate are standing firm against the idea of Prince Andrew ever resuming public royal duties, according to several royal commentators.
The Duke of York, who has been sidelined for years following scandals linked to Jeffrey Epstein and alleged ties to a Chinese spy, made an unexpected appearance alongside his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, at the King’s Easter church service at Windsor’s St George’s Chapel.
Prince William caught off guard as woman breaks security during rare street moment
Appearing jovial and relaxed as he arrived, Andrew‘s presence marked a rare public outing for the 65-year-old royal, who was stripped of official roles amid widespread controversy.
However, the absence of William and Kate from the Easter service did not go unnoticed. Instead of joining the rest of the family, the Prince and Princess of Wales opted to spend the holiday privately in Norfolk with their three children – a move that many believe underscores their distance from Andrew.
Andrew‘s ties to Epstein and the scandal involving Yang Tengbo, an alleged Chinese operative, led to his effective exile from royal life.
He was even excluded from traditional family gatherings such as Christmas. His reputation within the monarchy has been heavily damaged, and his latest public appearance has reignited debates about his future role, if any, in royal life.
Experts believe there is no path back for Prince Andrew
Speaking on the Royal Exclusive show, royal commentators Hugo Vickers and Bronte Coy offered a bleak assessment of Andrew’s prospects.
“I can’t imagine that the King or Prince William or any of the other senior royals would agree that he should return to public duty. I think that’s a matter that’s been laid to rest,” Coy explained.
Adding to the discussion, Hugo Vickers described how Andrew’s public image has deteriorated severely over time.
“I mean nobody wants him. But of course he’s allowed to go to family events. Of course he should go to church. In fact I think he would be criticised if he didn’t,” Vickers said
Meanwhile, royal expert Phil Dampier shared that while King Charles remains fond of his younger brother and is hesitant to cast him out entirely, the notion of a “comeback” for Andrew is far from reality.
“It was very much a show of family unity,” Dampier said, noting the significance of Andrew’s Easter appearance. “He’s not totally out in the cold, but I think it’s too early to say it’s any kind of comeback for him.”
“It is absolutely true to say that William is one of the driving forces behind making sure there’s no future for the Duke of York. He doesn’t believe he can make a comeback, and there is, I’m told, quite a lot of friction between them. It made it a lot easier, I think, for Andrew that William wasn’t there.”
