Prince Andrew appears to be causing concern in the royal family with his ambitious career plans.
The Duke of York is reportedly interested in writing an account of his association with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a book and King Charles is dreading the idea.
A source told Express: “Andrew keeps floating the idea of putting his side of the story out there in a book,” the source said. “But the family think it's the worst thing he can do.”
“He doesn't want to write a tell-all book like Spare, but he is very keen to set the record straight about the Epstein mess and the fallout that followed.”
She then compared Andrew to King Charles' estranged son, Prince Harry.
“Another Harry would be catastrophic for the family,” the source said. “It's better to keep Andrew close than to separate him.”
“The feeling is that keeping him at the center of the matter will do less damage than if he went wild and started shooting at the family from outside.
“Discussions are also underway to assist Andrew with his living arrangements and to enable him to remain at Royal Lodge.”
