Prince Andrew Using Queen Elizabeth II To Win Back Royal Status? Here's the Truth

Prince Andrew remains hopeful that he will find his way back to the royal family.

Instead of fixing his relationships with other royal members from the bottom, Prince Andrew reportedly began his attempt to become a senior royal member again with the help of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Sun received a tip from a source and Prince Andrew's pal regarding his royal plans after losing his titles following Virginia Giuffre's accusations.

The Duke of York reportedly wants to do more in his life, and it will start by becoming a senior royal again.

“He's thinking about what he can do. He has had discussions with the Queen about what he can do with his life. But there are also wider family discussions,” the friend said.

Meanwhile, another source said that the plans were formed since Prince Andrew was not convicted of any crime.

By talking to Queen Elizabeth II, the royal is reportedly hoping that Her Majesty can influence Prince William and Prince Charles who reportedly do not believe he has a way back.

The news came out months after royal author Tina Brown revealed that Prince Andrew believes he could use his relationship with Queen Elizabeth II to make his way back to his royal duties.

Brown told 60 Minutes Australia that the royal prince expects to be “rehabilitated,” but he has not accepted that he should have quiet years ahead.

“Andrew believes, strongly, that he can get back. I'm told that this is something that he is obsessed with, that he believes is going to happen. That overdue time he will get back into the mix,” Brown said, per Express UK.

Prince Andrew Desperate To Return

Prince Andrew's downfall started when he agreed to appear in the crash BBC interview where he was interrogated about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

At that time, he denied sexual impropriety and his ties to pedophile Epstein, who took his life at the age of 66. He referred to all trafficking-related crimes as “unbecoming” and said later on that he did not regret being friends with Epstein.

He decided to step back from public duties for the unforeseeable future after the infamous talk and faced lawsuits filed by Giuffre.

The victim filed the document in New York and accused Prince Andrew of sexually assaulting her thrice when she was 18.

She added that she was forced to have intercourse with the royal prince at Ghislaine Maxwell's home in London in 2001. The other incident reportedly happened at a New York mansion and Jeffrey Epstein's private island in the Caribbean.

They eventually reached a settlement, and the issue quieted down since then.
