'Deluded' and 'Perpetual Embarrassment': Prince Andrew Won't Lose Titles Since King Charles Wants to Spare Duke 'Public Shaming'

King Charles III has mostly upheld his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II's actions against the disgraced Prince Andrew, who has been labeled a "perpetual embarrassment." But His Majesty may not be willing to go any further when it comes to his "baby brother" as he wants to prevent any "public shaming" for the 64-year-old prince.

After resolving a sexual abuse case with accuser Virginia Giuffre in 2022, the eighth in line to the British throne saw his public duties stripped away and his taxpayer-funded Metropolitan Police protection revoked.

The duke, whose association with convicted s-- offender Jeffrey Epstein led to his removal from public roles, reportedly resisted further cuts to his privileges, including being asked to vacate the Royal Lodge in Windsor. Despite these setbacks, he remains steadfast in retaining his HRH title for private use and continues to be a member of the Order of the Garter, the U.K.'s highest order of chivalry.

In a conversation with The Sun's Matt Wilkinson, royal expert Richard Palmer explained why he believes The King will not rescind this title from the duke.

"I'm not sure about the legal process of it," Palmer shared when highlighting the removal of Andrew's styles and titles. "I imagine that it’s possible but I think that would be very difficult for him to so publicly shame his brother like that. I can't see it happening but of course, Andrew’s situation is a perpetual embarrassment for the king and the entire family."

In light of this, the Duke's daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, are adopting a "business as usual" approach to Netflix's explosive new Prince Andrew/Jeffrey Epstein film, Scoop. The movie tells a fictionalized account of the events leading up to, during, and after the Duke of York's "trainwreck" 2019 interview with Newnight's Emily Maitlis.

"Beatrice and Eugenie will communicate through their clothes that it is 'business as usual' as the new Netflix film about Prince Andrew comes out," style expert Marian Kwei dished.

"They will also state with their style that they are just like everyday people and want to be seen as being 'relatable' to the public and in touch with the times," she added. "We saw this when Princess Eugenie chose to wear a short black satin Me + Em dress accessorized with a cardigan and vegan Loci trainers at the Hong Kong convention center."

She continued: "The vegan trainers were in keeping with current non-leather trainer trends, showing that the royals are in touch with the times with issues such as sustainability.

Apart from the York princesses' statement-oriented fashion past choices, the movie is starting to make headlines. The film features Beatrice in a supporting role played by actress Charity Wakefield, with Gillian Anderson as Maitlis, Rufus Sewell as the Duke of York and Colin Wells as Epstein.
