It emerged last week that the disgraced Duke of York, 64, had kept in contact with the late serial sex trafficker for longer than he initially led on.

Prince Andrew has become comfortably Britain's least popular royal, creating significant pressure on Charles to disown him. The king has stopped financially supporting his brother, however, there have still been times when Andrew has been seen chatting warmly with royal family members on his way in or out of church.

Prince Andrew is “embarrassed” about his dire current situation and is staying off the radar to avoid further humiliation, according to a royal expert. In a desperate bid to pinch a few pennies, the disgraced Duke of York has kept himself busy by attempting to maintain the 21 acres of garden on his royal family-owned estate.
