Ex-Prince Andrew Rejects King Charles' Balmoral Invitation as He Fears He'll Be Treated Like an 'Outcast' Among Royals, Source Claims

A friend said Andrew feels abandoned and fears being treated as an outcast after being invited to join the royal holiday, sources said.

  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will not join King Charles and the royal family for their annual holiday at Balmoral in Scotland, despite receiving an invitation from the King to attend the traditional summer gathering.
  • A friend revealed that Andrew fears he would be treated as an "outcast" if he joined the estate in the Scottish highlands, believing he has nothing to gain from attending the gathering.
  • Andrew has been laying low in recent months following his February arrest by British authorities on suspicion of misconduct in public office, stemming from scrutiny over his past ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
  • "Andrew feels he's been abandoned. He feels like he is no longer part of the family," a friend told The Sun. He questions the point of traveling to be treated as an "elephant in the room."
  • More than two dozen members of the royal family will travel to Scotland for the traditional summer gathering while Andrew remains at Marsh Farm. The King has reportedly not seen his brother at all this year.
