Prince Andrew has been keeping an eye on Harry and Meghan's new life in the US and how they are progressing as he finds a way of how to forge a new career outside of the Royal Family

The source said: "Andrew is less bothered about losing his titles than people think. He is more interested in what he can do next. He has been keeping an eye on Harry and Meghan's new life in the US and how they are progressing. He sees them as a good example of how to forge a new career outside of the Royal Family."

There have been reports that Prince Andrew is considering a comeback and is looking for ways to restore his reputation. However, it is not clear what this comeback would involve, as the Duke of York has been stripped of his royal duties and titles, and his public image has been severely damaged. In addition to a potential comeback, it has also been reported that Prince Andrew is considering legal action against his accuser Virginia Giuffre.

The reports suggest that Prince Andrew is interested in following in the footsteps of his nephew, Prince Harry, who has set up a successful new life in California with his wife Meghan Markle. However, it is unclear what kind of business or charity ventures Prince Andrew might be interested in pursuing, or how he might go about assembling his own team.

The Duke of York has been out of the public eye since he stepped back from royal duties in November 2019, following allegations of sexual abuse. While he has always denied the claims, the scandal led to him being stripped of his honorary military titles and effectively forced out of public life.

Despite this, there have been reports that discussions are taking place about what role, if any, Prince Andrew might play during the coronation of King Charles. However, it seems unlikely that he will be given an official position.

Prince Andrew remains a Knight of the Garter, which is an ancient order of chivalry dating back to the 14th century. Traditionally, Garter Knights have played significant roles during coronation ceremonies. However, last year, Andrew was banned from the annual public procession, and instead joined other Garter Knights for the private part of the day. In addition to his reported interest in pursuing a new life in America, there have been reports that Prince Andrew's lawyers are trying to obtain legal documents involving his accuser, Virginia Giuffre. The Duke of York paid a settlement of around £12 million to Ms. Giuffre after she claimed that he had sex with her when she was 17, a claim which he has denied.

Andrew's legal team is said to be seeking access to papers from a lawsuit between Giuffre and US lawyer Alan Dershowitz, whom she formerly accused of abuse before retracting the claim. The hope is that these papers will undermine Giuffre's credibility and help restore Andrew's reputation.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied Virginia Giuffre's claims of a sexual encounter in 2001 and has questioned the validity of a photograph of them together, taken at Ghislaine Maxwell's house.

While some royal analysts believe that he may have been left a substantial inheritance by the Queen, which could provide him with the financial means to mount a legal challenge against Ms. Giuffre, it is unclear how successful such a challenge would be. Others speculate that he may attempt to clear his name by penning a memoir.

Recently, Andrew has reportedly claimed to friends that a "mystery development" will soon restore his disgraced reputation. However, it is unclear what this development may be, and many remain skeptical about his chances of rehabilitation given the ongoing controversy surrounding his association with Epstein and the allegations against him.
