Prince Andrew could follow Harry and Meghan to US in big career move

The controversial royal could follow in the footsteps of the Sussex’s as he contemplates his next career opportunity outside of the monarchy.

'Complete rubbish': Doubts over Meghan Markle's claim amid resurfaced blog post

Prince Andrew is “keeping an eye” on Harry and Meghan’s life in the US — as he plans to forge a new career without his titles.

The disgraced Duke of York has been told there is no way back if he wants a public role.

But King Charles has agreed for his 62-year-old sibling to seek “low-key” business interests, The Sun reports.

Andrew — who was stripped of his titles by the Queen in January last year — has also been consulting lawyers in a bid to overturn his multimillion-dollar settlement with sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre.

An insider said: “Andrew is less bothered than people think about losing his titles and official royal roles.

“He is thinking about how he can forge a new career.

“He has been keenly keeping an eye on everything Harry and Meghan have been doing in America.

“They have managed to set up a new working life away from the Royal Family and that is something Andrew has been following very, very closely. He is very interested in the businesses and charity side of things, rather than doing anything on Netflix.”

The Sun told in November how Andrew had secretly flown to oil-rich Bahrain, an island country in Western Asia, as a guest of friends in the gulf state’s royal family — amid claims he was seeking a new role.

The Duke believes he may have a case against Virginia, 39, after she dropped a lawsuit against late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer Alan Dershowitz, having admitted she “may have made a mistake”.

He is also reassembling a team after losing his communications officer of two years.
