ARROGANT Prince Andrew is too pompous for his own good and there is no place for him in the Royal Family, an expert has said.
Andrew falls from grace after paying millions to settle an abuse case brought by one of billionaire pedo victim Jeffrey Epstein’s victims.

King Charles has increased the pressure on Andrew – warning life will become “uncomfortable” if he refuses to leave his 30-bedroom mansion.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has predicted that Andrew will never appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony again.
Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive, Jennie said: “We in the media would make a big song and dance about it.
“I don’t think there would be booing from the crowd – but he won’t be returning to any kind of public role.
“And I think that’s completely correct. He was always a very arrogant man, in my opinion.
“I met him a few times over the years and he was pompous – he said he was too honorable for his own good.
“Well, I think he was too pompous for his own good, actually. There’s no place for him now among the working royals.”
Andrew’s police protection was removed when he resigned from public office amid the Epstein scandal.
The crisis shows no sign of going away after Netflix aired its hit drama Scoop detailing Andy’s ‘car crash’ Newsnight interview.
And there is yet another representation of his shame in an Amazon series about his downfall, where Andy is played by actor Michael Sheen.
Andrew caused an uproar by leading the family in a service for the late Greek King Constantine at Windsor Castle in February, in the absence of the cancer-stricken king.
But last month he was seen playing golf without a care in the world with friends in Scotland.
The father of two’s finances are in trouble because he can no longer work.
It’s unclear whether Andrew received any windfalls from his late mother’s will when she died in September 2022.
The late Queen helped pay Andrew’s multimillion-dollar out-of-court settlement to sexual abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre.
Brothers at war: King Charles vs Prince Andrew
KING Charles is increasing the pressure on Prince Andrew – warning life will become ‘uncomfortable’
The 75-year-old king redoubled his efforts this year to evict his brother who shares his home with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
Insiders called Charles and Andrew’s standoff a “siege of the Royal Lodge.”
Palace sources say the king, who is financing Andy’s life, could “reconsider the levels of support he is willing to provide” if he turns down all offers of a new home.
The embarrassed Duke of York, 64, who will never return to public service after paying millions to settle an abuse case with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, has for 18 months refused the king’s pleas to move.
The Sun exclusively revealed that Andrew rejected the chance to move into Frogmore Cottage last year after Harry and Meghan were ordered evicted.
Andrew, who will never return to royal duties because of his links to the late billionaire Pedo, still refuses to budge, pointing out that he has a 75-year lease.
But a friend said The times: “It can be done in an organized or disorderly manner. It can be done with grace and dignity or it can be forced upon him. It’s all very sad.
“But as things stand, life at Royal Lodge is likely to become increasingly cold and uncomfortable for the Duke.
“The only question now is when he will realize that he has become a prisoner of his own pride – and that returning the keys will provide him with much greater comfort and the continued support of his family.”
It turns out that Charles isn’t willing to continue paying out of his own pocket to finance Andy’s lavish lifestyle.
Sources close to Prince Andrew insist he will not leave Royal Lodge, citing a 75-year lease on the property that does not expire until June 15, 2078.
Friends of the Duke, last night he entered into a “cast iron” lease and sees no reason to give up his home where he has lived for the past 20 years.
Palace sources insisted that Prince Andrew “remains the king’s brother” and is welcome at family events, but will never return to public service.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson declined to comment.
