King Charles is already having a tough year: battling cancer and facing questions over royal expenses. But what he probably would hope not to expect is another Prince Andrew scandal.
The British authorities barred a Chinese businessman from the U.K., claiming he was working on behalf of the Chinese government to make inroads in British elite circles.
He was a friend of the disgraced royal.
Although, the Chinese businessman, denied the allegations, however ultimately, it set off a huge controversy embroiling The Firm.
"It has been the year from hell for King Charles as he battles ill health," British broadcaster Helena Chard told Fox News Digital.
In what appears to be a knee-jerk reaction, Buckingham Palace closed its doors to the Duke of York and his family for the Christmas party.
Another royal expert, Hilary Fordwich, said, “Prince Andrew has brought shame on the royal family, which is exasperating for his brother the king, who is thought to view his brother as ‘at best gullible, at worst grubby.’”
"Prince Andrew’s unsavory associations are extremely disconcerting to the king," she shared.
“There are those who advocate that, in addition to losing all his military honorary titles, the king’s feckless brother should lose the Order of the Garter if it is proven he has been involved in activities which have resulted in breaches of British National Security," the expert concluded.
