welcome Andrew, 63, with open arms.The Duke of York was recently profiled in a scathing A&E doc called the “Secrets of Prince Andrew” about his escapades with convicted now-dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.A source recently dished to the Mirror how the monarch, 74, has “overruled” William by forcing the family to not shut out Andrew any longer while vacationing at Balmoral Castle.The Duke of Cambridge was spotted driving his uncle to church in Scotland last weekend, an act that Charles requested, according to the insider.A separate eyewitness alleged that Andrew’s appearance alongside William and his wife Kate Middleton, “while knowing they would all be photographed, has been seen as a major boost in the York camp towards the Duke’s rehabilitation.”This “public declaration of support from William and Kate” is “more than [Andrew] could have wished for.”However, despite the Prince of Wales being seen out and about with Andrew at events such as Charles’ coronation this past May, he has “absolutely no desire to be seen with the Duke in public.” There is also one former member of the Windsor clan who has been brought as a “broker” to help escort Andrew back into the royal fold: his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.Ferguson, who is also affectionately known as Fergie, has been staying at Balmoral Castle in Scotland alongside the family to help ease her ex back into the family’s good graces.An insider divulged to the Mirror that the Duchess of York, 63, “has been the life and soul of family gatherings” at the summer residence.She has even “been seen talking to the King and Prince William on several separate occasions.”This summer marks the British royals’ first return to Balmoral since the death of the Queen last September.

the OG “spare” is actually Prince Andrew.A new A&E documentary, “Secrets of Prince Andrew,” has revealed why the scandal-ridden Duke of York has always been considered the late Queen Elizabeth’s “favorite” child as well as the original surplus prince.“We know from Prince Harry that the ‘spare’ creates an idea of resentment and jealousy,” British biographer Andrew Lownie said.“[Prince] Andrew was an accident waiting to happen for years.”The Post has reached out to reps at Buckingham Palace for comment.Andrew, 63, was always rumored to be the long-reigning monarch’s most loved and most treasured son, despite not being the firstborn.As the third child of the queen — who died in September 2022 at the age of 96 — and her late husband, Prince Philip, he was second in line to the throne at the time of his birth in 1960.“His birth was celebrated as he was the next male heir, despite [his sister Princess] Anne being [born] second,” journalist Dickie Arbiter said in the doc. “If [King] Charles died, then Andrew would be the one directly in line to succeed him.”He added that the queen had already settled into her life as a mother by the time Andrew came along, as she had given birth to Anne in 1950 and Charles just two years earlier.“Courtiers” author Valentine Low interjected and pointed out how she was an “indulgent” mother to Andrew, and with him, she could “sit back a bit” to enjoy motherhood.
