King Charles has been cautioned to proceed with extreme care in his dealings with Prince Andrew and the York family, as a royal biographer claims more damaging revelations could be on the horizon.

Andrew Lownie, whose forthcoming book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York will be released on August 14, advises the King to keep his distance.

Speaking to the Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential newsletter, Lownie was direct: “I would keep the whole York family at a distance. Fergie should not be invited to events, and the daughters should not be made working royals. I believe there are more scandals to emerge.”

A History of PR Disasters

This is not Charles’ first experience with his brother’s controversies. In 2019, Prince Andrew stepped away from public duties due to his ties with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

By 2022, the late Queen removed his military titles and royal patronages after he faced a US civil lawsuit over sexual assault allegations — claims he has consistently denied. The matter was resolved out of court with his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, and since then Andrew has largely been excluded from royal life.
