THE FIRM is said to be 'concerned' as Prince Andrew begins his attempts to return to the royal fold this summer.
Reports have emerged suggesting that Prince Andrew will attempt to make a Royal comeback this summer.
However, according to Royal expert Neil Sean, this is a source of great worry for Prince Charles and Prince William.
The pair are allegedly “rather concerned” that Prince Andrew could force his way back into Royal life, Sean told his YouTube channel.
Sean went on to say that Andrew plans a “long and lengthy chat” with his mother, as he attempts to persuade her into letting him back into the fold.
The Duke of York, 62, was effectively exiled as a working royal earlier this year when the Queen prevented him from using his HRH title.

Prince Harry ‘intensely focused’ on investigating Diana’s final moments
Prince Harry has been “intensely focused” on investigating Princess Diana’s final hours for his new book.
Official judicial sources in Paris say the Duke of Sussex’s researchers have been seeking information about the car crash that killed his mother 25 years ago.
They are believed to be involved in the ghost-written memoir that Harry is set to release this year, and related TV and podcast projects.
One source, who was involved in the original crash investigation, said: “There have been approaches which suggest Prince Harry is intensely focused on getting more information about his mother’s death.
“There are plenty of people in France who recall the night of the accident. It’s only normal that Diana’s son should want to learn more about it for his book.”

The royal's former bodyguard Lee Sansum, has revealed that she feared for her own life after the murder.
"She asked if I thought his murder outside his home was a professional killing," he said.
“I thought it was. Then she said something that always stayed with me — ‘Do you think they’ll do that to me?’ She was shaking and it was clear from her tone that she really thought that they might, whoever ‘they’ might be.
“I spent some time reassuring her that no one was going to try to kill her and she was safe with us, but she definitely thought there was a risk that one day she might be assassinated.”

Lady Di's former bodyguard opens up about royal's death
Lee Sansum, the once-bodyguard of Princess Diana, is adamant the royal would still be alive today if he had been on duty on that fateful night in 1997.
In an exclusive interview, Lee has told how security guards drew straws to accompany bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones in the car, and he lost.
Lee, now 60, said: “It could have been me in that car.
"We drew straws to see who would be accompanying Trevor that weekend. I pulled a match and it was a long one.
“When I learned they were not wearing seatbelts in the crash I understood why they didn’t survive. That shouldn’t have happened.
"It was standard practice for the family to wear seatbelts. It was an order sent down from the boss, Dodi’s dad Mohamed Fayed. Dodi, in particular, hated wearing seatbelts and I always insisted on it.”

Andrew is not the Queen’s favourite, royal expert reveals
Royal author, Matthew Dennison claims in his new book that Edward is the Queen’s pick of her four children.
In his lengthy biography of the monarch, Mr Dennison wrote: “Prince Edward, seemingly a bit wet and a tad irritating to the rest of us, was always his parents’ favourite.
“That became apparent in 1987 when Edward, aged 22, opted out of the Royal Marines when he was just a third of the way through his 12-month basic training course.
“To the surprise of some, Prince Philip did not come down on his son like a ton of bricks.
“He accepted that the Marines ‘wasn’t right for Edward’ – and to this day Edward is grateful for that.”

Prince Andre protection is 'cruel in the extreme'
PRINCE Andrew's "round-the-clock protection" is "cruel in the extreme" a royal author has claimed after a review of security detail was undertaken in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
The Sussexes' unofficial biographer Omid Scobie wrote about Harry’s security needs and his lawsuit against the Home Office.
Writing for Yahoo! News Omid claimed: "It seems cruel in the extreme to allow Prince Andrew round-the-clock police protection, but not the future King's son.
"It comes across as the Establishment punishing Harry, yet again, for breaking away from the Firm and sharing his experiences publicly."
He concluded the only acceptable solution to this fight is to "reinstate Harry's access to security at his own expense -before it's too late".

Harry’s memoir unlikely to criticise the Queen
Royal commentators say the book will focus heavily on his anguish following his mother’s death in August 1997.
Harry, 37, blamed the tragedy for mental health problems that he tried to resolve with drink and drugs.
Five years ago — long before he had thought about writing a book — Harry invited friends of his mother to share memories and private photographs of her.
The tome, which US author J R Moehringer is writing, is reportedly unlikely to contain criticisms of the Queen.
But it is thought that Harry’s dad Charles and brother William will feature over Megxit.

Prince Philip understood reasons behind Edward’s choice to quit Marines, claims biographer
The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, was very understanding about Edward’s decision to quit the Marines, claims a royal biographer.
Writing in the Daily Mail, royal expert Ingrid Seward said: “Given his action-man image and his well-earned reputation for irascibility, many people assumed he was outraged.
“Stories soon spread that harsh words had been exchanged between father and son; even that Edward had been reduced to tears by his father’s anger.”
But she added: “The truth was quite the opposite: of all the Royal Family, Philip was in fact the most sympathetic. He understood his son’s decision, which he considered a brave one, and supported him fully.”

Prince Andrew NOT the favourite
PRINCE Andrew is NOT the Queen and Prince Phillip's favourite child according to a royal author due to the way his sibling was treated when they were younger.
Royal author, Matthew Dennison claims in his new book that Prince Edward is the Queen’s pick of her four children.
In his lengthy biography of the monarch, Mr Dennison wrote: “Prince Edward, seemingly a bit wet and a tad irritating to the rest of us, was always his parents’ favourite.

“To the surprise of some, Prince Philip did not come down on his son like a ton of bricks.
“He accepted that the Marines ‘wasn’t right for Edward’ – and to this day Edward is grateful for that.”
It comes as Prince Andrew is still costing taxpayers an eye watering amount of money as the Duke is still entitled to bodyguards following a review.
The condition was subjected to a full review after he was exiled as a working royal by the Queen earlier this year.

Exclusive – Diana feared assassination ex-bodyguard reveals
Burnley-born Lee Sansum, who has covered his incredible career in personal protection in a new book, was assigned to look after Dodi and Diana, then 36, when they stayed at his boss’s 30-bedroom villa in St Tropez, in the South of France, during July 1997.
Every day Diana would wake up at 7am and chat to the bodyguard. He said: “She had been happy on that holiday.
“But I had seen her in tears too, when she learned of the murder of her friend, the fashion designer Gianni Versace. She confided in me her own fears that she might one day be assassinated.
"She asked if I thought his murder outside his home was a professional killing.

Prince William and Kate ‘will show Harry and Meghan how it is done’ during America trip
The Cambridges “will show Harry exactly how it is done” during the pair’s trip to the US, amid suggestions that the arrival of “real royalty” could trigger a disaster for the Sussexes.
Express Online reports that royal expert Neil Sean said ahead of the Cambridges’ trip to the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Boston, Massachusetts that William and Kate could be set to feature on the cover of Time magazine, more than a year after Harry and Meghan featured on the same magazine.
He explained: “A year ago Prince Harry and Meghan Markle featured on the cover of the prestigious Time magazine and they were ridiculed for it, some saying Harry was looking like Meghan’s hairdresser.
“Well, Wiliam and Catherine will be travelling to the US towards the end of the year to launch Earthshot, a very successful, independent charity fronted by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.”
He continued: “They are seemingly not going to visit Harry and Meghan during this trip.
“But now it appears that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be featuring as solo front cover stars on the same magazine.
“But unlike Harry and Meghan they will not be sharing it with various split front covers around the world – it will just be the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
“It’s interesting, Harry has had a go and now the Duke and Duchess are seemingly stepping forward to show him exactly how it is done.
“Indeed, the fact that real royalty is coming over to the United States is going to be very problematic for Harry and Meghan.
“Unless they keep winning awards, their world of opportunity could be a very small window indeed.”

Betrayal was formative in Queen’s early years, claims commentator
Royal commentators have argued the Queen developed an assertive air of authority following the contentious media engagements of her childhood governess, Marion Crawford – ‘Crawfie’.
Express Online reports that Ms Crawford penned several articles and provided a number of television interviews following her retirement, in which she detailed the early private lives of the Queen and Princess Margaret.
This early “betrayal” has been blamed for forcing an attitude of “seriousness” from the monarch in an effort to thwart future royal aides profiting from the family in the same manner.
Royal historian Robert Lacey said: “It was a formative experience that contributed to the seriousness with which she [the Queen] always approached her job – ruthlessness some people called it.”
