UNREPENTANT Prince Andrew wants his titles back, FURIOUS with Prince Charles and William for snubs
A fuming Prince Andrew refused to socialize with Prince Charles and Prince William as the father-son duo blocked Andrew's comeback to the royal life, according to sources. 'Battle lines were drawn' when the future kings 'stopped' the Duke of York from being present at the public events of the Knights of the Garter ceremony last week.
Prince Andrew was all set to come back to the royal life during the Royal Ascot in June 2022, but due to the Queen's agreement of keeping him away owing to his sexual assault on Virginia Guiffre, he was blocked from entering.

The friction between Andrew, his brother Charles and nephew William may be a cause for the royal family's summer getaway at Balmoral. Speculations of fears are surfacing that he may not join the getaway or if he does it may be awkward. Reportedly, Andrew is of the belief that he can bring his royal career back to life, however, it is the palace sources that have him named 'deluded',
A source told The Sun, "Andrew is desperate to rebuild his life and wants his titles back. But he is fuming with Charles and William for stopping his plans. He doesn’t want to talk to them. Battle lines have been drawn and this has put a cloud over Balmoral in the summer."
Another insider then added the fact that the Duke of York has decided to stay away from Ascot has made relatives hopeful that he has finally understood the depth of the situation. The disgraced 62-year-old is said to have opted ‘without fuss’ not to attend the races. However, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson defended him saying, "he is a good and kind man".
Asked if she would marry him again if she could go back and do things differently, Ms Ferguson replied: "Oh yes. It was an exceptional day, the 23rd of July 1986. I think my life is an amazing life. I think I’ve been very lucky. And I am now just beginning my life again. And I think it’s pretty cool to be able to say that."
After Virginia Giuffre alledged that the Duke sexually assaulted her when she was 17 and the victim was bannned from publicly speaking about the incident until the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Giuffre who turned Roberts after marriage was allegedly forced to enter into sexual relations with Andrew, not once but thrice under the instructions of Jeffrey Epstein. In January 2022, she sued the 61-year old Andrew for 'unspecified damages'. Instead of trying to prove himself innocent, Andrew simply agreed to pay a large sum in order to settle the case.
