Rumors about Prince Andrew's plan to return to the public life have been rampant since he escorted her mother, Queen Elizabeth II, at his father's, Prince Philip, memorial service last month. Now, insiders revealed the Duke of York wanted to sneak his way back into royal life the first chance he got.
In fact, Prince Andrew reportedly wanted to return to Queen Elizabeth's "apron strings." But can he do it with Prince Charles and Prince William around?
Sources close to The Times, revealed, via The News, Sarah Ferguson's former husband had done a lot of good things for charities in the past. He also showed his capacity as a U.K. trade ambassador back then.
So if he gets rehabilitated, it may do a lot of good for him. "The settlement had no admission of guilt," the insiders said.
The tipsters continued that though some question Prince Andrew rightfully, there is no balance judgment of him in the media. He is said to have a lot to give to people who will let him provide.
But his plan to return to public life and belief that he can be a man of service again remains unknown. He is said to be the only one who can see it that way.
For starters, Prince Andrew had sparked a backlash after he escorted Queen Elizabeth to the Westminster Abbey for Prince Philip's memorial service. He was criticized for making a public appearance at a high-profile event after settling the sexual allegations filed by his alleged victim, Virginia Giuffre, against him.
The settlement reportedly cost $21 million, per News.com.au. After that, he again caused public ire after issuing a 700-word statement about the Falklands War, which he now deleted.
He even signed the statement, posted on Sarah Ferguson's Instagram, as HRH after Buckingham Palace said he could not use the title anymore. The Times revealed Prince Andrew did not expect there would be a hostile reaction to his post.
This just proved he was in an "awful place," though his statement was described as "personal and thoughtful." The source close to the troubled prince said he was just a veteran sharing some deeply personal thoughts about the important anniversary and it was a surprise that the public could not read it as what it was.
So, amid his alleged plans to return to public life, it may never happen as Prince Charles reportedly opposes the idea. The future king is said to be "less sympathetic" to Prince Andrew's wishes.
