Prince Andrew was locked in “intense talks” with the Queen about his future after spending several days alone with his mother on her summer break.
The disgraced Duke’s bid to get his royal roles reinstated was rejected by the Queen earlier this summer
The disgraced Duke — whose bid to get his royal roles reinstated was rejected by the Queen earlier this summer — wants a new position to see out his days.
He was stripped of all his patronages and military titles because of his multi-million pound payout to sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre.
Andrew spent three days with the Queen at Balmoral this month, The Celeb Report on Sunday understands.
His daughters and their families, Prince Edward, wife Sophie and their two children, and Prince Charles and Camilla have since joined the Queen and Andrew in Scotland.
A friend of Andy’s said: “He is a 62-year-old man and knows that he can’t spend the rest of his days sitting around at Royal Lodge in Windsor, walking his dogs and riding horses.
“He’s thinking about what he can do. He has had discussions with the Queen about what he can do with his life.
“But there are also wider family discussions.”
Another source said: “He knows he let his mother down badly but he hasn’t been convicted of a crime. He wants to try to establish a route back.
“He’s hoping the Queen can influence Prince Charles and Prince William, who see no way back for him.
“He wanted a few days alone with his mother to talk about his future.”
A spokesman for Andrew did not want to comment.
