Prince Andrew unlikely to resume royal duties under King Charles (The Guardian)

Queen's second son has adopted a more visible role in the past few days, but that will end with her state funeral.

His spokesperson announced on Sunday that he and his former wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, would become keepers of the Queen’s corgis and dorgi. “That wasn’t part of the masterplan.” Even before the Epstein controversy, Charles had indicated he wished for a much slimmed down monarchy under his reign. He remains stripped of his military patronages and use of the HRH title. It would be out of the question for him not to be involved, especially as the royal family has been keen to present a united front at this time. As the Queen’s son, he has adopted a visible role, thanking well-wishers at Balmoral Castle.
