PRINCE Andrew became tearful when the King told him he would never return to Royal duties, it has been reported.
The disgraced Duke of York was “totally blindsided” in the tense face-to-face meeting with his brother, who said he must accept his role in public life is over, it was claimed.
Prince Andrew has been rumoured to think he could still add value to the Monarchy.
But these hopes were dashed days before the Queen’s death during the early-morning talks with the then-Prince of Wales in Scotland.
A source told the Mail on Sunday the discussions were “emotional and fraught”, and suggested those around Prince Andrew are concerned for him.
