King Charles to demote disgraced Prince Andrew to ‘dog walker-in-chief' after coronation, says expert

King Charles II is believed to be considering relegating his brother Prince Andrew to a minor role in the Royal Family.

Reports in the UK are gathering that the disgraced Duke of York, who was stripped of his military titles and usage of HRH after facing a US civil action over sexual assault allegations, will be 'frozen out' of the Royal Family.

In fact, his major job will be the royal dog walker, as he now cares for Queen Elizabeth's corgis.

As the Mirror UK report, Andrew is no longer a working royal and therefore was forced to wear civilian clothes as he followed his late mother's procession to Westminster Hall last Wednesday.

The Queen's second son was stripped of his titles in light of scandals involving his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the alleged sexual abuse of Virginia Giuffre - allegations the Duke consistently denies.

Earlier in 2022, he paid millions to settle the civil sexual assault case to Ms Giuffre, who he has claimed he has never met.

Royal insider Nigel Cawthorne understands that the Prince could end up receiving just a measly gesture from the new King.

"I can't see he's got much of a role [in the Royals] aside from Lord High Dogwalker, keeper of the royal corgis," he told The Sun Online.

"Who would want him? What supermarket or school wants Andrew cutting the ribbon?

"Andrew could end up embarrassing them even more - so instead [Charles] would have to give him some 'hush money'."

It comes after claims in a few book that Andrew "lobbied hard" to stop Charles from becoming King.
