Prince Andrew was left 'tearful' after a tense face-to-face meeting with Charles, then Prince of Wales, who told his younger brother he will never return to Royal duties, a source has claimed.
The Duke of York believes he could 'still be of value' as a working member of the Royal Family despite his association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and has lobbied strenuously to resume his former roles.
But The Mail on Sunday understands these hopes were dashed in a private early morning meeting at Charles's Birkhall estate in Scotland days before the Queen's death.
No one else was present for the discussions, described as 'emotional and fraught'.
'Andrew was totally blindsided,' a source told The MoS, adding that the decision has left those around the duke concerned for him.
'He is utterly bereft. He always believed there was a way back.'
There will be further evidence of the Duke's isolation next Sunday, when he will be absent from the Remembrance Day service at The Cenotaph – the first in 70 years without Queen Elizabeth II.
Stripped of his official duties, he no longer has a role to play.
'Andrew was extremely close to the Queen and tried to raise the issue of his return to public life many times with her,' said the source.

The shorter his reign the better he will be remembered as king, as many more expect. But fear not, Charles once told Camilla if he died he wished to return as a tampon for her. A job far more suited for the royal twit.
King Chuck laid down the law as he should.
**I think Charles will be a better king than many expected.**
Well, Chuck will seek to get rid of useless eaters. Something his mother may not have been as dedicated to doing.
A Muslim King.
Charles wants a “slimmed down” monarchy focused on him and immediate family (this includes Markle im afraid).
All the palaces and castles will also be reviewed. I dont think he thinks they need so many.
He is very aware that the monarchy is more like a business and whatever you say about his stupid beliefs he knows how to pull in money as produce from his (now former) estate sells very well and is a “brand”.
I think this acumen will serve him well...
This must have been quite a blow. It has often been reported that Andrew was the Queen’s favorite child even will all his peccadillos.

That was damned expensive sex he had with those young girls.
“Tearful” is not how leaders act.
Andrew will live with his shame but also those related to him have to as well.
I don’t. This is a clear no-brainer move of self-preservation and keeping a stain isolated from spreading.
If he did, he would find himself dead of a car crash or heart attack before the month was out.
Now back in the day when the Plantagenets ruled, Andy would have gone out and got an army together and laid waste to the whole country before he got stopped by Chuck.
Just to show how its done...a proper civil war as they say.
There, I got that off my chest! LOL!!
Harry is the one who needs to hear that said. Anything to stop his demolition mission.
Your post says Andy when you apparently meant Harry.
Andrew is Charles' brother, and therefore is Harry's uncle.
Andrew is divorced from the redhead Sarah Ferguson; but still living with her, in England.
Harry is married to Meghan Markle and living in California.
