The U.K. got its first new monarch in a lifetime on Thursday, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the passing of the crown to the Charles formerly known as Prince. While the general public has expressed a wide range of emotions in reaction to news of the queen's passing — from reverent grief to meme-fueled giddiness — now is presumably pretty stressful times for one man: Prince Andrew, noted Jeffrey Epstein-pal and general bad guy. For years, Andrew’s status as mummy’s favourite boy kept him salaried and housed on a Crown Estate. While the queen was still alive, the Duke of York seemed intent on clawing back some kind of public role, but King Charles III’s reign is expected to bring changes both for the monarchy in general and Andrew in particular. “As long as the queen is around, it might be possible for him to keep sneaking back in,” journalist and royal biographer Tina Brown said of Andrew in an April interview, referring to the duke’s then-recent surprise photo opps with his mother, “but it’s not going to work when Charles is king or when William is king. He is going to have absolutely no truck with Andrew.” (Although William did let Andrew ride shotgun on the Range Rover ride to Balmoral as the family rushed to pay final respects.) Read about the discgraced prince's uncertain future at the link in bio.
