Prince Andrew hides at Balmoral with King Charles amid bombshell docuseries: report
Prince Andrew is reportedly attempting to stay out of view at Balmoral Castle in Scotland following the release of the new A&E documentary series “Secrets of Prince Andrew.”
The Duke of York’s checkered past and friendship with dead financier Jeffrey Epstein is explored in the bombshell doc.
Andrew, 63, has retreated to the royal family’s summer residence as the dust settles from the show’s explosive claims, according to a report.
Royal expert Pelham Turner revealed to Fox News that the disgraced prince received an invite to stay at Balmoral from his brother King Charles.
“The royal clans are descending on Balmoral,” Turner divulged.
“It will be interesting to see how many olive branches grow on royal trees,” he added.
The Post has reached out to reps at Buckingham Palace for comment.
This summer marks the British royals’ first return to Balmoral since the death of Queen Elizabeth last September.
The Duke will soon be joined by other members of the fam, including his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, as well as nephew Prince William and niece Kate Middleton and his brother Prince Edward and sister-in-law Sophie.
Turner went on to note that King Charles, 74, could be going easy on his brother due to the breast cancer battle Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, is constantly undergoing.
Ferguson, 63, was diagnosed with the illness earlier this year and underwent a mastectomy.
“To Di for Daily” podcast host Kinsey Schofield echoed Turner’s thoughts, saying: “This could be King Charles’ soft heart on display — giving Prince Andrew and Fergie a bit of peace while she recovers from a breast cancer scare.”
The radio personality continued: “[Andrew] is lucky to have Fergie and his girls. He continues to be a liability to the royal family.” She added, “Andrew’s association with Jeffrey Epstein will … be his legacy.”
Fergie also received a special invite to the Castle, royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News.
“I don’t think the King has much patience for Andrew,” she alleged. “They have never been necessarily close. Had Andrew’s behavior not been so destructive towards the royal brand, his Majesty might even enjoy watching his gregarious younger brother be publicly humbled.”
Andrew’s alliance with Epstein goes back to 1999 when the two first met through now-imprisoned socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Royal Navy veteran had met with the convicted pedophile — who allegedly committed suicide in jail in 2019 — several times over the years.
Victim Virginia Giuffre accused Epstein of trafficking her to Andrew and, after Epstein’s death, filed a sex abuse lawsuit against the duke in 2021.
As a result, the late Queen stripped Andrew of his military and royal titles, and he stepped down from public duty.
