Prince William has expressed a firm stance that his uncle, Prince Andrew, should not be reintegrated into royal duties, citing trust issues and the ongoing investigations related to Jeffrey Epstein's victims.

King Charles reportedly regrets inviting Prince Andrew to the Royal family's Christmas gathering at Sandringham after new court documents linked Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein's sex abuse scandal.

The Metropolitan Police have stated that they have not initiated an investigation into Prince Andrew following calls from the anti-monarchy group Republic to probe sexual assault allegations against him. These allegations, which Prince Andrew has denied, resurfaced after the unsealing of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The allegations are believed to be from Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has accused Prince Andrew of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. Despite the public pressure, the police have indicated they will only assess new and relevant information if it comes to light. In 2022, Prince Andrew settled a lawsuit with Giuffre for a reported $14 million without admitting any wrongdoing.
King Charles has reportedly been advised to sever all ties with Prince Andrew to protect the monarchy's reputation amidst ongoing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

King Charles III's decision to include Prince Andrew in the Royal Family's Christmas festivities at Sandringham is under scrutiny after new allegations emerged from unsealed court documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Despite previous assurances to the late Queen to look after Andrew, the King faces challenges due to the Duke of York's ongoing association with the scandal, including claims of sexual abuse and inappropriate behavior. The royal family's approach seems to be one of containment, as Prince Andrew has already been stripped of his military titles and public duties, with little prospect of returning to an official role. The situation is complicated by Andrew's refusal to downsize from his Royal Lodge residence, highlighting the difficulties in managing the fallout from his tarnished reputation.
King Charles reportedly continues to support his brother Prince Andrew amidst new allegations linking Andrew to an "underaged orgy" at Jeffrey Epstein's island. Despite the damaging claims, friends and royal insiders suggest that the King and the royal family are not surprised by the revelations and have no plans to ostracize Andrew. The allegations, part of a large document release related to Epstein, have been described as unsubstantiated by Andrew's friends, and there is no indication that he will return to royal duties. Buckingham Palace has not commented on the situation.
Despite the resurfacing of Prince Andrew's ties with Jeffrey Epstein due to newly unsealed court documents, King Charles is unlikely to remove his brother's royal titles. The power to strip titles lies with Parliament, not the monarch, and since Prince Andrew has not been charged or convicted, he is considered innocent by the UK government. Prince Andrew has already stepped back from public duties and lost his military titles and patronages, but he retains his Duke of York title and place in the succession line. Parliament has made changes to the Counsellors of State to avoid potential constitutional issues involving Prince Andrew and Prince Harry.

Court documents from a 2015 defamation case involving Jeffrey Epstein's main accuser, Virginia Guiffre, and his former lover Ghislaine Maxwell are being unsealed, potentially revealing new details about associates of Epstein, including Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew. The documents were previously sealed to protect identities, but a judge ruled there was no legal justification for keeping the names redacted. Clinton, referred to as "Doe 36," and Prince Andrew are among about 200 people named, with Clinton denying any wrongdoing and Prince Andrew denying claims made by another accuser, Johanna Sjoberg. The unsealing follows a legal battle by the Miami Herald and public interest in the case.
Court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's associates, including Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton, are set to be unsealed, revealing their connections to Epstein's activities.
