Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have been told they are not welcome at the Royal Family's Christmas celebrations amid a fresh scandal involving paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, sources have claimed.
It's understood King Charles, 76, wants to keep the Duke and Duchess of York, both 65, at arm's length after the Mail on Sunday exposed how Fergie wrote to Epstein to apologise for publicly disowning the vile billionaire.
Andrew and his ex-wife, who live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor despite divorcing in 1996, have also been told to make themselves 'invisible' at future royal gatherings, insiders claim.
It comes after Charles asked the Duchess of York to help convince Andrew to 'do the decent thing' and avoid the Royal Family's Christmas gathering last year after it emerged the Duke had become close with alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo.
The Yorks spent last Christmas together at Royal Lodge instead, but they were not joined by their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
A source close to the King told The Sunday Times: 'You can't sack someone from being your brother.
'But this year, if the duke and duchess were both to be as honourable [as last year], it would be very much for the best and the family would not be disappointed, not least to avoid the King having to make any more difficult decisions.'
It follows several charities dropping the Duchess in the wake of the Mail's exposé last week, which laid bare how she cynically lied when she pledged to cut ties with Epstein.

Ferguson took her her prepubescent daughters to Pedo Island.
WTH were MI5 and MI6 doing allowing Epstein anywhere near the royal family, UK bureaucrats, pols, businessmen?!
That access continued for well over a decade.
Are there any royals or public servants above the level of Rat-Catcher left in the U-Kray-Kray with an ounce of sense?
If everything in Amdrew Lownie’s new book is to be believed, nobody in the House of York, anyway.
And that includes the daughters.
Andrew Lownie...
Ok King Charles, now let’s talk about Jimmy Saville…
And the naked young man videotaped trying to escape from a window at one of the palaces who fell, probably to his death.
I’m not sure.
“Ferguson took her her prepubescent daughters to Pedo Island.”
I did not know this!!! Why did Elizabeth allow this?
I’ve heard of him. Epstein is basically Saville 2.0
Awww...so what?
Off with their heads!
Andrew and Sarah are sleazy. Andrew is worse than sleazy. But I disagree with any suggestion in the article that Charles and Camilla are respectable. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, Charles was a national embarrassment and Camilla was “the other woman” in spades. That whole generation needs to go and maybe William and Kate can salavge the monarchy’s respectability.
I still love Andrew and Fergie...On his say so...I do NOIT believe he slept with a teenager.
ah, the ongoing soap opera peccadilloes of the English “royalty”: the greatest tempest in a teapot in history! [probably better than bread and circuses and to distract the peasantry from the implosion of their once great country]
They prolly got to go too and indulge in sick perverted stuff too
From Day One, Prince Andrew denied knowing her.
Giuffre filed a civil law suit against Prince Andrew in New York City.
New York state has no criminal statute of limitations for the sex trafficking of minor children.
However, Giuffre never reported that crime to New York Police.
In addition, a widely circulated photograph of Prince Andrew, Virginia Giuffre, and Ghislaine Maxwell, was revealed to be a separate photo, of the original photo.
The person who took the original photo is unknown. The date of the original photo cannot be verified.
The photo of the original photo was never submitted to New York Police or to the New York civil court where Giuffre filed her lawsuit.
Eventually, Giuffre withdrew her lawsuit, and Prince Andrew and Giuffre settled their dispute out of Court.
Prince Andrew never admitted any guilt.
Prince Andrew and the Royal Family paid an undisclosed amount of money to an organization - created by Giuffre - that allegedly assisted young women who had been trafficked.
The amount of money - if any - that was paid directly to Giuffre has not been verified.
