‘Dying’ King Charles ‘Deeply Rattled’ by Public After Being Heckled Over Prince Andrew’s Connections to Sick Pedo Epstein

Leave a comment

**King Charles Targeted Over Prince Andrew’s Epstein Ties in Lichfield Cathedral Incident**

*Updated: October 29, 2025, 2:09 p.m. ET*

King Charles was recently confronted by a heckler over his brother Prince Andrew’s connections to the disgraced sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, RadarOnline.com can report. The encounter reportedly left the 76-year-old monarch “furious and deeply rattled.”

The incident occurred as Charles was shaking hands and greeting supporters at Lichfield Cathedral in England. Amid the crowd, a man loudly accused the king of covering up for his younger brother, shouting questions such as, “How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?” and “Have you asked the police to cover up for Andrew?”

King Charles did not respond to the accusations, and the heckler was quickly silenced by others nearby. Despite this, sources say the encounter “pierced the royal bubble,” leaving Charles visibly shaken.

> “Charles has spent his entire life preparing to be King – not to be heckled in the streets like a politician,” a source told Hollywood insider Rob Shuter, who covers royal affairs on Substack.

### Growing Concerns Over Public Backlash

Royal watchers have expressed worry that this may mark the beginning of increased public scrutiny targeting the Andrew-Epstein scandal. A senior courtier told Shuter,

> “(Charles) is terrified this is just the beginning. For decades, people shouted ‘God Save the King.’ Now they’re shouting about Andrew — and no one’s stopping them.”

This public confrontation comes as King Charles continues treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer and has been visibly weakened. Sources close to the palace reveal that the ongoing revelations about Prince Andrew’s continued ties to Jeffrey Epstein have left the King “utterly worn down.”

> “Just when he thinks the matter has settled, another revelation surfaces. It’s placing enormous strain on him. He’s doing his best to focus on his recovery and royal duties, but the constant stress is really affecting his health,” said an insider.

### The King’s Difficult Position

Though King Charles has long tried to quietly distance himself from his brother, the scandal surrounding Prince Andrew has intensified pressure on Buckingham Palace to take more definitive action against the Duke of York.

Andrew, now 65, was stripped of his military titles and patronages in 2022 and barred from using his HRH status. Following the latest Epstein-related revelations, he has had additional royal titles removed.

However, sources close to the palace say Charles feels trapped by the situation.

> “The King feels boxed in – he can’t simply cut his brother off, yet Andrew’s behavior keeps casting a shadow over everything he’s trying to restore within the monarchy,” one source explained.

### Prince William’s Harder Line Expected

Looking ahead, The Sunday Times reports that Prince William will take a much tougher stance toward his disgraced uncle when he ascends to the throne.

William, first in line to the crown, reportedly plans to ban Andrew from all aspects of royal life, including both public and private events.

> “He will be excluded from public and private royal events, including the coronation, and banned from most state occasions,” a source revealed.

The future king is said to view Prince Andrew as a “threat” and a “reputational risk to the monarchy.” He is also reportedly concerned about the message Andrew’s presence at royal events sends to victims of sexual abuse.

As the royal family continues to navigate this turbulent chapter, King Charles faces not only personal health challenges but also the ongoing fallout from his brother’s scandal — a burden that threatens to overshadow the monarchy’s efforts to maintain its integrity and public standing.

EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle ‘Will Be Raging’ If She’s Snubbed From Taylor Swift’s Wedding Invite List — Despite ‘Diva Duchess’ Congratulating Singer ‘Through Gritted Teeth’

Leave a comment

**Meghan Markle Prepares for “Meltdown of Royal Proportions” Over Taylor Swift’s Wedding Guest List**

*Published Oct. 20, 2025, 7:55 p.m. ET*

Meghan Markle is reportedly bracing for a “meltdown of royal proportions” if she doesn’t make the guest list for Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce, sources tell RadarOnline.com.

Despite publicly congratulating the newly engaged couple and even liking Swift’s Instagram announcement, insiders say the Duchess of Sussex is privately seething that the global superstar’s engagement has “eclipsed” her latest business and media ventures.

—

### Swift’s Engagement Steals Markle’s Spotlight

In August, Swift, 35, revealed online that Kelce, 36, had proposed in a garden filled with pink and white flowers, sharing a set of romantic photos captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

The announcement instantly went viral, amassing millions of likes and dominating entertainment headlines. However, the timing couldn’t have been worse for Markle, 44, whose second season of *With Love, Meghan* premiered on Netflix the same day — alongside a new drop from her lifestyle brand, *As Ever*.

A Hollywood source told RadarOnline.com that Markle was “livid” her carefully orchestrated launch was overshadowed by Swift’s fairytale engagement — despite “no one caring about Meghan anyway.”

“She was furious,” the insider claimed. “She had been working for months to relaunch herself as the queen of lifestyle and empowerment, and then Taylor casually drops the biggest celebrity news of the year. Meghan was raging behind closed doors that her headlines were ‘stolen’ by the singer — but she still liked Taylor’s post to look gracious. It was through gritted teeth, no question.”

—

### Desperate for a Wedding Invite?

The source added that Markle is “already panicking” over whether she’ll be invited to what’s expected to be the most exclusive wedding in show business.

“She’s desperate to be there — this is the kind of event that cements your place in the A-list hierarchy,” the insider explained. “If she’s snubbed, she’ll take it as a personal insult. She’s already saying it would be ‘a shame’ if certain people tried to keep her out, which is Meghan-speak for she’s gearing up to be angry.”

—

### Complex Relationship Between Markle and Swift

The Duchess and Swift’s paths have crossed before. Markle attended Swift’s *Eras Tour* concert in Los Angeles in 2023 and reportedly sent a handwritten note afterward, praising the singer’s “grace and authenticity.”

However, sources say the two have never developed a close friendship — especially after Swift accepted an invitation to meet Prince William and his children, George and Charlotte, backstage during her London show last year.

—

### Is Markle Feeling Frozen Out?

“That hurt Meghan,” claimed a royal insider. “Taylor took selfies with William and the kids, and Meghan felt like she was being deliberately frozen out. She sees Taylor as both an ally and a rival.”

In contrast to Swift’s global popularity, Markle’s latest Netflix series has received lukewarm reviews. Filmed near her Montecito home, *With Love, Meghan* showcases the Duchess baking pastries and chatting with celebrity guests such as Tan France and Chrissy Teigen.

Critics have described it as “predictable” and “perfectly polished but painfully dull.”

—

### Counting Down to the Guest List Reveal

Still, Markle has privately told friends she’s “happy for Taylor” and admires her success.

“She’s said all the right things in public and private,” said the insider. “But privately, she’s counting the days until the wedding guest list comes out. She wants that invite — she needs it. Missing out on the biggest celebrity event of the decade would be a nightmare for her image.”

Royal Revenge: Prince William to Strip Estranged Brother Prince Harry and Non-working Royals of Their Titles After Taking the Throne

Leave a comment

**Prince William to Strip Titles from Non-Working Royals Including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Upon Ascending the Throne**

*Published Oct. 20, 2025, 4:30 p.m. ET*

Prince William is reportedly set to take a hard stance against his estranged brother, Prince Harry, and other non-working members of the royal family by stripping them of their royal titles once he becomes king, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The 43-year-old monarch-in-waiting has already seen Prince Andrew renounce his royal titles and honors amid the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Sources say William plans to take an even firmer approach with others who are not actively serving within his reign.

### Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Lose Their Titles

When he becomes King William V, the prince will use an executive royal order known as “letters patent,” ratified by Parliament, to swiftly strip Harry, 40, and his wife, Meghan Markle, of their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles as well as their “HRH” (His/Her Royal Highness) status, according to a source who spoke to The Royalist.

Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 to relocate to California and pursue financial independence. Despite their departure, Markle has notably continued to use her Duchess of Sussex title both professionally and personally, often speaking openly about her disdain for royal life.

Also expected to lose their titles are the couple’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The children were entitled to royal styling following their grandfather King Charles III’s accession to the throne in 2022. Although Harry and Meghan had the option to style Archie as the Earl of Dumbarton at birth, they chose instead to give him the family surname Mountbatten-Windsor. However, they later embraced the princely titles following the Queen’s passing.

### Titles of Prince Andrew’s Daughters Also at Risk

The daughters of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are also expected to have their royal titles revoked early in William’s reign, an insider revealed.

Beatrice and Eugenie were awarded their princess titles at birth as granddaughters of the late Queen Elizabeth II, in accordance with existing letters patent. In contrast, the children of the Queen’s other two children—Princess Anne and Prince Edward—were not granted prince or princess titles and thus will not be affected by William’s proposed title changes.

### The Fight Over Prince Andrew’s Titles

A close friend of Prince William told The Royalist that the prince wanted sweeping title changes implemented when Andrew was forced to relinquish his dukedom and other honors. However, King Charles III’s cancer crisis delayed such drastic moves.

“It should have been done by Charles this week, but William knows he doesn’t have the strength because of his illness. William is understanding of his father’s situation,” the friend shared. “William won’t be afraid to take the next step.”

William had reportedly been lobbying strongly for Andrew’s removal of his prince title as well. Instead, on October 17, Andrew announced that after consulting with “The King, and my immediate and wider family,” he would give up his Duke of York title and other honors, including membership in the Order of the Garter, but retain his prince title.

An insider commented on the shifting stance: “On Wednesday, the king’s office said removing the dukedom would be a lame and ineffectual gesture unless you took away the prince title as well. On Friday, it’s suddenly the other way round, and persuading him to drop the duke title, without even taking it away, is being held up as a triumph of the king’s steely will. His operation is a mess.”

### ‘Change Is Good’ — Prince William Signals Reform

Prince William has already hinted that significant changes are coming when he takes the throne.

“I think it’s safe to say that change is on my agenda. Change for good. I embrace that and I enjoy that change, I don’t fear it,” he told Eugene Levy during a recent episode of his Apple TV+ series *The Reluctant Traveler*.

As the new king, William seems determined to reshape the monarchy by tightening royal titles and streamlining the family’s role – focusing on those who actively serve the Crown.

EXCLUSIVE: Revealed – The Sad Promise Prince William Made to Mom Princess Diana That He’ll Never Get to Fulfill When He Takes the Throne

Leave a comment

**Prince William’s Promise to Princess Diana That He Will Never Be Able to Keep**

*Published Oct. 17, 2025, 4:34 p.m. ET*

Prince William once made a heartfelt promise to his mother, Princess Diana, that moved her to tears — a promise he tragically will never be able to fulfill, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

At just 14 years old, the future Prince of Wales witnessed a heartbreaking moment in his mother’s life. In 1996, Diana lost her “Her Royal Highness” (HRH) title as part of her divorce settlement from then-Prince Charles, now King Charles III.

### The Promise That Moved Diana to Tears

Though Diana retained the title Diana, Princess of Wales, the removal of her HRH status meant she had to curtsy to her ex-husband, her two sons, and other members of the royal family. This change deeply hurt Diana, who confided in close friends that it felt like the final severance from the institution she had once devoted her life to.

In a touching moment, a teenage William comforted his mother by saying, “Don’t worry, Mummy, I will give it back to you one day when I am king.” According to Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, this promise left her overwhelmed with emotion.

A source close to the late princess shared, “Diana was incredibly touched by what William said — she told friends it was one of the kindest things he’d ever done for her.” The insider explained this moment showcased the deep bond between mother and son. “Even as a teenager, William was remarkably empathetic,” they said. “He could see how much the loss of her title hurt her, and he just wanted to take that pain away in the only way he knew how.”

### A Promise Lost to Tragedy

The promise, however, would tragically remain unfulfilled. On August 31, 1997, just a year after the divorce, Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris at the age of 36 — only 368 days after the settlement was finalized.

A royal insider reflected, “It’s heartbreaking when you think about it. Diana’s loss was the defining wound of William’s life, and that small promise became symbolic of everything he couldn’t protect her from. The tragedy is that he’ll never get to fulfil it — no matter what kind of king he becomes.”

### The Divorce That Changed Everything

Diana’s divorce settlement, finalized on August 28, 1996, awarded her a lump sum of approximately $20 million and an annual allowance of $500,000 to maintain her private office. While the agreement ensured joint custody of Prince William and Prince Harry, then 12, Diana’s HRH status was permanently revoked — a decision supported by Queen Elizabeth II to maintain “necessary distance” between the monarchy and the divorced Princess of Wales.

Royal experts have noted that the Queen attempted to reassure Diana during this difficult time, promising she would always have access to her sons.

### A Legacy of Love and Compassion

In the final months of her life, Diana’s feelings toward the monarchy remained complex. She once told a royal biographer, “I would never do anything to hurt the monarchy. I have no wish to upset what is essentially William’s inheritance, whether he likes it or not.”

Those who knew Diana well say she often spoke about the importance of compassion in leadership — a lesson William seems to have embraced fully.

A family insider shared, “Diana always told William that if he was lucky enough to find real love, he should protect it and never let it go. He’s done exactly that with his wife Catherine — it’s the one piece of her guidance he’s truly carried with him.”

—

Prince William’s promise to his mother remains a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between them and the profound impact of Diana’s love and compassion on the future king.

Kate Middleton’s ‘Heartbreaking Dilemma’: Prince William’s Wife Panicking Over Sarah Ferguson’s Fresh Jeffrey Epstein Scandal… as Pressure Grows to Cut Ties With Disgraced Duchess

Leave a comment

**Kate Middleton Caught in Royal Headache as King Charles Seeks to Cut Ties with Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson**

*Published: October 6, 2025, 4:30 p.m. ET*

Kate Middleton is reportedly caught in a royal dilemma as her father-in-law, King Charles, aims to sever ties with his disgraced brother, Prince Andrew, and Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. The recent leak of Ferguson’s emails concerning convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has brought fresh embarrassment to the royal family, RadarOnline.com reveals.

### Middleton Concerned About Potential Scandals Amid Royal Tensions

Insiders claim that Prince William’s wife has voiced worries about Andrew and Ferguson potentially causing further scandals for the monarchy amid King Charles’ efforts to have the pair removed from the Royal Lodge. Andrew and Ferguson have lived there for years despite their 1996 divorce.

According to a source familiar with the situation, Middleton’s concerns have even clashed with her husband William’s stance on the matter.

> “Prince William thinks Andrew and Fergie should be removed from Royal Lodge. He believes it is the only way to protect the monarchy and wants to put an end to the scandal once and for all,” the insider said.
>
> “However, Kate is panicked that pushing the Yorks too far might trigger more sordid bombshells.”

### King Charles Haunted by ‘Megxit’ and Cautious of Retaliation

King Charles, still haunted by the fallout from ‘Megxit’—when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020—shares some of Middleton’s concerns.

> “He also worries that if the Yorks are pushed too hard, Andrew might retaliate, possibly through a tell-all book,” the source added.
>
> “Andrew has previously mentioned writing a memoir, which could be devastating if it comes to light.”

The monarch is reportedly torn between protecting the family name and the unpredictable nature of Andrew and Ferguson. Ferguson herself has reportedly appealed directly to the King not to force her and Andrew out of the family.

### A Heartbreaking Dilemma for Middleton

In a surprising twist, Middleton and Ferguson reportedly bonded over their health battles after the future queen revealed her own fight with cancer last year. The insider revealed that Middleton was “truly touched by Ferguson’s words” but now faces a “heartbreaking dilemma.”

> “Kate is under growing pressure to cut ties with the Duchess of York,” the insider explained.
>
> “While she cares for Sarah, Kate cannot afford to be pulled into this web of lies that could jeopardize the family. Her priority remains her children, her health, and the future of the Crown.”
>
> “This isn’t a storm she can stand beside. Kate feels she must put the monarchy first.”

Privately, Ferguson believes she still has allies within the Firm, but Middleton has reportedly taken a step back from their relationship.

### Ferguson’s Jeffrey Epstein Email Scandal and Family Fallout

Kate Middleton is not the only family member taking distance from Sarah Ferguson amid the scandal. According to RadarOnline.com, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie—the daughters of Andrew and Ferguson—have also distanced themselves from their mother following the leaked emails.

The emails revealed that Ferguson maintained contact with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein years after claiming to have cut all ties, causing widespread shock.

> “Their natural instinct is to defend their mum, but it’s unfortunately indefensible,” an insider said.
>
> “They have their own families to think about, and this is a double betrayal for their mum to be implicated in this Epstein mess alongside their dad.”
>
> “They now keep contact to a minimum, which has deeply hurt Sarah. She’s horrified this information has come out.”

As the royal family navigates this turbulent chapter, the delicate balance between protecting the monarchy and managing internal relationships remains at the forefront.

Kate Middleton’s ‘Heartbreaking Dilemma’: Prince William’s Wife Panicking Over Sarah Ferguson’s Fresh Jeffrey Epstein Scandal… as Pressure Grows to Cut Ties With Disgraced Duchess

**Kate Middleton Faces Royal Headache Over Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Scandal**

*Published Oct. 6, 2025, 4:30 p.m. ET*

Kate Middleton is reportedly caught in a difficult situation as her father-in-law, King Charles, seeks to cut ties with his disgraced brother, Prince Andrew, and Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. The couple’s recently leaked emails concerning convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein have brought fresh embarrassment to the royal family, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Insiders disclosed that Prince William’s wife has expressed concerns about Andrew and Ferguson potentially sparking further scandals during Charles’ ongoing efforts to have them removed from the Royal Lodge. The former couple have lived there for years despite their 1996 divorce.

### Middleton Fears Pushing Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson ‘Too Far’

According to sources, Middleton’s worries about the situation clash with her husband Prince William’s views. The insider explained:
“Prince William thinks Andrew and Fergie should be removed from Royal Lodge. He believes this is the only way to protect the monarchy and wants to draw a line under the scandal once and for all.
However, Kate is panicked that more sordid bombshells might emerge if the Yorks are pushed too far.”

King Charles is said to be “haunted by the memory of Megxit,” when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020. He shares some of Middleton’s concerns about potential fallout. The source added:
“He also worries if the Yorks are pushed, Andrew might retaliate — perhaps even with a tell-all book.
There’s real fear he could go down the same path as Prince Harry. Andrew has already talked about writing a memoir before. It could be devastating.”

### The King’s Dilemma

Sources note the monarch faces a difficult balancing act in deciding whether to sever Andrew’s ties with the royal family. The insider continued:
“Charles feels he cannot allow the family name to be tarnished further. At the same time, he’s very aware of the risks. The Yorks are unpredictable, and there’s real concern about what they might do next.
Fergie made a point of asking the King not to force her and Andrew out of the family.”

### Middleton and Ferguson’s Unlikely Bond

Despite the tensions, Middleton and Ferguson reportedly bonded over recent health struggles after the future queen disclosed her battle with cancer last year. The insider noted that Middleton was “truly touched by Ferguson’s words,” but now faces a “heartbreaking dilemma.”

### Middleton ‘Under Pressure’ to Cut Ties With Ferguson

The source explained:
“Kate is now under growing pressure to cut ties with the Duchess. Kate cares for Sarah, but she can’t afford to be pulled into this and feels this new web of lies could destroy the family.
Her priority is her children, her health, and the future of the Crown.
This isn’t a storm she can stand next to. Kate has no choice — she must put the monarchy first.
Privately, Sarah believes she still has friends in high places within the Firm, but Kate has now taken a step back.”

### Ferguson’s Jeffrey Epstein Email Scandal Widens Rift

Middleton isn’t the only family member distancing herself from Sarah Ferguson amid the scandal. As previously reported by RadarOnline.com, Andrew and Ferguson’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are also said to be cooling their relationship with their mother following the leaked emails.

The insider shared:
“Their natural instinct is to defend their mum, but it’s unfortunately indefensible. They have their own families to think about, but this is a double betrayal for their mum to now be caught up in this Epstein mess with their dad.
They both have no choice but to keep their contact to a minimum, and this has cut Sarah deeply. She’s horrified this has come out.”

As the royal family navigates this latest scandal, it remains to be seen how these strained relationships will evolve and what impact they will have on the future of the monarchy.

EXCLUSIVE: Revealed — The A-List Podcast Snub That Left Meghan Markle ‘Reeling With Embarrassment’

Leave a comment

**Meghan Markle Left Embarrassed After Mariah Carey Erases Her From Memory in UK Radio Interview**

*October 2, 2025, Updated 7:36 p.m. ET*

Meghan Markle has reportedly been left embarrassed after Mariah Carey appeared to erase her from memory when asked about royal connections during a UK radio interview, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, launched her popular podcast *Archetypes* in 2022, with Carey, 56, appearing as one of her headline guests. That episode made headlines at the time for an awkward exchange when the singer called Meghan a “diva,” before hastily clarifying she meant it as a compliment about her style and presence.

### The Awkward ‘Diva’ Moment Resurfaces

But three years on, that moment has resurfaced after Carey was asked on Hits Radio to reflect on royal encounters ahead of a planned performance at Sandringham House. Instead of mentioning Markle, Carey chose to talk warmly about meeting Sarah Ferguson, describing her as “cool.”

For those close to the Sussexes, the “diva” incident combined with Carey’s refusal to collaborate again with Markle in her new Netflix content has “stung.”

One source close to Markle said, “Meghan saw the podcast as a way to connect with influential women she respected. Being so openly passed over now feels deeply humiliating—as though the ‘diva’ controversy is still casting a shadow over her.”

### Meghan’s Sensitivity to the Comment

The original conversation between the pair on *Archetypes* centered on the word “diva” and its double meaning in both pop culture and everyday life. Carey had told Markle she sometimes gave off “diva moments,” pointing to her poise, glamorous wardrobe, and polished presentation.

Markle appeared unsettled by the remark, asking in response, “What kind of diva moments do I give you?” Although Carey clarified her comment referred to image rather than personality, Markle later admitted during the episode that she found the exchange uncomfortable.

The resurfacing of that tension has, according to insiders, left Markle particularly sensitive.

Another industry insider commented, “Mariah was among the most high-profile guests Meghan had secured, so choosing to spotlight Sarah Ferguson instead—without even acknowledging Meghan—was telling. In celebrity circles, such omissions don’t go unnoticed, and it’s embarrassed Meghan.”

### No Chance of a Reunion

Despite this, Markle would still like Mariah to get involved in her new projects, knowing it would make headlines. However, Mariah’s representatives have made it clear there is no chance of that happening.

A source explained, “Mariah just isn’t a fan of Meghan and her ultra-sensitivity. Mariah plays up her diva image in a fun way, but with Meghan it just comes across as irritating.”

This snub comes at a time when Markle and Prince Harry, 41, are working hard to keep their media projects afloat amid critical reviews. Season two of Markle’s Netflix lifestyle series *With Love, Meghan* has recently launched, while Harry’s own polo documentary faced widespread negative feedback earlier this year.

### Renewed Insecurities for the Duchess

A Hollywood source familiar with Markle’s team shared, “She has invested a lot of effort in aligning herself with the celebrity sisterhood, so being left out in this way is painful. Meghan regards her podcast as one of her proudest achievements—and for one of its most prominent guests to overlook it feels like a real setback.”

Friends further suggested that Mariah’s omission of Markle during her radio chat revived insecurities about how the Duchess is perceived in star circles compared to her royal status.

One confidante explained, “Meghan’s biggest fear is being disregarded—whether by the Palace or by Hollywood. To her, this was yet another sign that she’s still struggling to secure her place.”

Christmas Crisis: Disgraced Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Frozen Out of Royal Holiday Plans After Fresh Details About Epstein Relationship Were Leaked

Leave a comment

**Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Reportedly Not Welcome at This Year’s Royal Christmas Celebrations Amid Epstein Controversy**

*Published: September 28, 2025, 2:30 p.m. ET*

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have reportedly been told they will not be welcome at the Royal Family’s Christmas celebrations this year, as fresh controversy over their ties to Jeffrey Epstein has resurfaced, RadarOnline.com can report.

According to sources, King Charles, 76, has made it clear he wants to keep both the Duke and Duchess of York, 65, at a distance following revelations that Ferguson privately apologized to Epstein after publicly disowning him. An outlet recently exposed a letter in which the Duchess described the convicted paedophile as a “steadfast, generous and supreme friend.”

Andrew and Ferguson, who divorced in 1996 but continue living together at Royal Lodge in Windsor, have also been told to remain “invisible” at future royal gatherings, insiders claim.

### King’s Stance and Family Reaction

A source close to King Charles told outlets, “You can’t sack someone from being your brother. But this year, if the Duke and Duchess were both to be as honourable (as last year), it would be very much for the best and the family would not be disappointed, not least to avoid the King having to make any more difficult decisions.”

Last year, the King reportedly asked Ferguson to help persuade Andrew not to attend the royal Christmas after the Duke was linked to alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo. Instead, the Yorks spent the holiday privately at Royal Lodge, without their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

This year’s scandal has further strained family ties. Royal sources suggest Charles and Prince William have agreed that Andrew remains a “risk” and a “threat” to the monarchy. The Prince of Wales is understood to fully support his father’s position.

### Fallout for Ferguson

Several charities have severed their ties with the Duchess of York after the exposé revealed she had written warmly to Epstein only weeks after pledging to sever ties.

In a private message, Ferguson admitted that she distanced herself from Epstein solely to protect her reputation as a children’s author, saying she had been advised to speak out “if she wanted to save her career.” She wrote the note “from the truth of my heart,” despite having told journalists just two months earlier: “I will never have anything to do with (Epstein) again.”

Friends insist she is “devastated for any embarrassment” caused and will explain herself to the wider Royal Family “in due course.”

### Tensions at Public Events

The Yorks’ presence at recent royal occasions has raised eyebrows. At the Duchess of Kent’s funeral earlier this month, Andrew was seen laughing loudly and attempting to engage with Prince William, who appeared to ignore him.

While sources say Charles is “not of the mind to banish someone,” the monarch hopes Andrew and Ferguson will keep a low profile by using discreet entrances at family events.

### Broader Consequences

Andrew stepped back from royal duties in 2019 after his disastrous *Newsnight* interview and continued questions over his friendship with Epstein and alleged involvement with Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual assault when she was 17.

Though Andrew denied the claims, he settled with Giuffre out of court for a reported $16 million. Newly released U.S. congressional files have again linked Andrew to Epstein through message logs, flight records, and financial ledgers. The same documents also named other prominent figures, including billionaire Elon Musk.

The scandal is now affecting Andrew and Ferguson’s daughters. Friends of Princess Beatrice say she has “lost all hope” of ever becoming a working royal, despite her willingness to help ease the burden on Charles and William.
