Prince Andrew may soon be back in the good graces of the royal family.
After depriving His JKW [“His Royal Highness”] the moniker and a number of other of his patronages last 12 months by the late Queen Elizabeth, the 62-year-old Duke of York, could reclaim his title.
He was banned from using labels after his relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Source said the Each day Mail that his elder brother, King Charles III, is pondering of restoring the title to Andrew.
Nevertheless, the 74-year-old monarch won’t formally announce any HRH restoration just yet as he hopes it should not cause drama.
A Each day Mail source claims that Andrew hopes to use his HRH title again with various (undisclosed) business ventures. “It’s more likely that he’ll just start using it again in a discreet way to test the waters – if he gets permission from the king,” the source said.
Although Andrew has lost his patronage, he continues to be a Royal Knight of the Garter and a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order.
The Queen, who died in September 2022, reportedly told Andrew face to face that he would now not be often known as His Royal Highness.

She broke the news to the father-of-two at Windsor Castle last January. In the same month, the ruler also stripped him of his military titles.
“By the consent and consent of the Queen, the Duke of York’s military affiliation and royal patronage have been returned to the Queen,” Buckingham Palace said in an announcement.
Additionally they noted that Andrew would now not use the title HRH in any official capability.
The stripping of Andrew’s official royal labels got here as a part of his sexual assault case brought by Epstein’s victim Virginia Giuffre. He denied any wrongdoing against him and settled the case last February.
Prince Harry recently slammed his uncle into his recent diary “Spare” for his ties to Epstein.

Harry, 38, wrote that Andrew was able to keep his security details despite his relationship with a sex offender while he and his wife Meghan Markle were taken away.
“Although he was involved in an embarrassing scandal accused of sexually abusing a young woman, nobody suggested removing his protections,” the Duke of Sussex wrote of Andrew.
“People can have plenty of grievances against us, but sexual offenses weren’t certainly one of them,” he added.
