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.

I think Charles will be a better king than many expected.
If Randy Andy had any guts at all, he’d start naming names.
Such a shame.
Suck it up Andrew.
“Busted. You got caught, mate. First rule in these circles, don’t get caught.”
“What about Bill Clinton?”
“Rules do not apply to Clintons, Obamas, or Pelosis.”
“We’re a cut above them, surely Chucky?”
“Yes we are. We’re a cut above everybody. But now you’re just a normal person. Deal with it.”
“I can’t go there. Normal? What does that pay?”
Hey, at least he got romps with underaged girls out of it, right Andy?
Way to represent!!
Harry and Meghan better watch their loose lips ....
Royalty in the modern world is mostly a tourist spectacle. They sell tickets to museums and raise money for charity. Andrew is an aging kid diddler. The type of people who donate to charity and go to state museums are rarely motivated to do so by aging kid diddlers.
Still, Andrew is almost certainly not getting up every monday morning to work a 9-5. Even if Charles doesn’t let him play royal, the royal family is still covering for him and supporting his lifestyle.
Umm is it just me?
No Andrew and his wife fired themselves
My bad, misread it.
I can’t help but think they look ridiculous dressed up like that...what did they ever do to deserve the medals, etc.
Yes, it’s tradition and the British tend to live tradition but..it seems so silly.
There will be more tears for poor squat to pee Andy when his so-called-semi-good-looking bi-racial wife divorces him and drags his sorry ass through a few million pounds or dollars (whichever has more value). It’s coming!
Yeah it’s not like andrew is gonna be living in a cardboard box and scrounging in dumpsters for food or anything.
Rehabilitate your life dude......and sin no more.
That message came through...
I'm thinking that too. Since expectations are so low, any successes will be magnified.
The House of Windsor is all sbout self-preservation.
The British monarchy hasn't been about what's best for Britain in centuries.
In any case, I think this is really a message to Harry.
If he had any guts he’d off himself; if he had any self-respect he wouldn’t have done it in the first place
