King Charles has signalled the Duke and Duchess of York are no longer welcome at the Royal Family’s Christmas. The decision comes as the pair’s links to Jeffrey Epstein continue to cast a shadow over the Monarchy, reports The Times.
According to sources, the pair, who divorced in 1996 but have remained close, will be kept at arm’s length following the latest revelation in the ongoing Epstein saga. It comes as the Duchess of York was dropped as a patron by the Teenage Cancer Trust following the disclosure of an email to the paedophile financier in which she described him as a “supreme friend”. It is the second Christmas in a row that Prince Andrew has been embroiled in scandal causing him to be shunned by members of the Royal Family.
Last year, the King is understood to have enlisted the help of the Duchess of York in persuading the Duke to “do the decent thing” after it was revealed that he had developed a close relationship with the alleged Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo.
