The duo, who reside together at Royal Lodge despite divorcing in 1996, have been kept at an arm’s length from the royals due to Andrew’s countless scandals over the years.
Now, it seems as though the monarch, 76, has had enough of drama plaguing the Firm’s reputation as he has indicated that the Yorks will not be receiving invitations to festivities this year, the Times of London reports.
“You can’t sack someone from being your brother,” a source told the outlet.
“But this year, if the duke and duchess were both to be as honorable [as last year], it would be very much for the best and the family would not be disappointed, not least to avoid the King having to make any more difficult decisions.”
The insider added that Charles would like the duo to remain “invisible” at future family events from here on out.
As a result, friends of the Duchess of York told the outlet that she was “devastated for any embarrassment” caused in recent months, and plans to “explain herself to the wider royal family in due course.”
This year’s Christmas will mirror last year’s festivities for the Yorks, as they were blacklisted from the royal celebrations over Andrew’s Chinese spy scandal that sent shockwaves behind palace doors.
Both Andrew and Sarah spent Christmas Day at their residence, located on the grounds of Windsor Castle, without their two daughters Beatrice and Eugenie.
Questions popped up earlier this month after the couple made a public appearance at the Duchess of Kent’s funeral at Westminster Cathedral.
Andrew was seen smiling and shaking hands with fellow attendees at the ceremony, which was also attended by senior members of the royal family.
“The King is not of the mind to banish someone worshipping at church or attending family occasions like a funeral,” a source told the outlet.
“But he would hope they would find a more discreet way of attending these events. In the Duke of York’s case, he seems to relish the prospect of not being low-key about it.”
The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace and the Duke’s reps for comment.
