Prince Andrew 'keen to team up with Prince Harry' as he believes they've 'both been terribly mistreated'
The Duke of York thinks both he and Harry are "spares"Prince Andrew is reportedly keen to “team up” with Prince Harry amid a claim he feels “a lot of kinship towards” his nephew.
Both princes are no longer working members of the royal family. Harry, 40, stepped back from senior duties in 2020 with wife Meghan Markle. They now live in California with their two children.
Meanwhile, Prince Andrew, 65, stepped back from public life in 2019 following much scandal surrounding his association with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew also faced a civil sexual assault case. Virginia Giuffre, who tragically died in April, accused the prince of sexually assaulting her when she was 17. Andrew has always denied the allegations. The civil case was settled out of court in 2022, with Andrew paying an undisclosed sum.
Prince Andrew ‘keen to team up’ with Prince Harry
Since stepping back from duties, Harry has become estranged from the royal family. It comes after a string of tell-all interviews and books, where he spoke about his negative experience within the monarchy.
Meanwhile, the Duke of York has become somewhat estranged from the royals as he’s no longer seen at public events.
If they were to team up, Charles would be in a much weaker spot.
Now, according to a new report, Prince Andrew believes he and Harry are “spares” that “have been terribly mistreated”.
A source told RadarOnline: “Andrew is feeling a lot of kinship towards Harry. In his view, they are both ‘spares’ that have been terribly mistreated.”
King Charles ‘doesn’t want to see’ Andrew
Andrew is said to be locked in a row with his older brother King Charles over his Royal Lodge home.
The Duke of York lives at Royal Lodge in Windsor. However, reports claim that the king wants Andrew to move out of the 30-room property.
However, Prince Andrew isn’t budging on the matter and wants to remain at the mansion.
The insider added: “[Charles] doesn’t even want to see Andrew these days. Andrew still can’t believe his own brother and family have turned on him this way, and now he sees they’ve done it to Harry, too. In his view that ought to bond them – even though they’ve never been close in the past.”
The source said that Andrew is keen to “team up” with Harry. They claimed: “According to Andrew, if they were to team up, Charles would be in a much weaker spot.”
Royal Insider has contacted reps for Prince Andrew for comment.
