King Charles may have stripped Andrew of his titles, distanced him from royal duties, and spent months trying to remove him from Royal Lodge, but the former Duke of York is proving remarkably difficult to shake. Despite the King’s unmistakable efforts to push Andrew out of the royal fold entirely, the disgraced prince has found a way to keep himself relevant: persistent phone calls that Charles feels increasingly unable to ignore.
The demands for direct communication have reportedly left the monarch both annoyed and anxious, with those close to the situation warning that cutting Andrew off entirely carries its own risks. Closer magazine captured the dilemma bluntly, quoting a source who warned, “If he doesn’t placate him a little by taking some of his calls, there’s no telling what Andrew will do… Andrew’s not going anywhere anytime soon.”
