There is no magic wand to erase the issues Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has caused the Royal Family, a royal commentator has told GB News.
Andrew was stripped of his royal titles in October, when King Charles took the unprecedented move in light of the ongoing scrutiny surrounding his brother's links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
He has also been handed notice on his Royal Lodge mansion, with sources claiming he will be leaving “sooner rather than later”.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams spoke exclusively to The People’s Channel and stated: “I don’t think there is a magic wand here, there is still a lot to be settled, with Royal Lodge and the Epstein files.

“It remains to be seen what will come of the pair, and with so many redactions in the released files we will have to wait and see what more comes out about that period.”
Recent images have revealed that work is well underway to remove Andrew from his Grade II 30-room mansion as removal vans were spotted at his residence.
The 65-year-old looks set to move to Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate, but will be staying in a smaller property until the work has been completed around Easter, Palace insiders have claimed.
A source said: “The snow or rain hasn’t delayed the work on Marsh Farm but it still needs a lot of attention to make it habitable.
“But one thing for sure is that it is a lot, lot smaller and less luxurious than Royal Lodge.”

Andrew is still currently at Royal Lodge, but a friend has revealed: “He’s finally decided he needs to get on with his life and so is moving out sooner than thought and starting afresh by the end of the month, or at least before his birthday in February.
“He and Sarah will go their own separate ways for the first time in almost 20 years.

The strict rules specified that he was not able to alter Royal Lodge by adding new walls, fences, gates or windows.
The lease specified that Crown Estate officials had the right to enter the property to confirm the rules had been followed if they gave “reasonable notice”.
The lack of inspections were revealed in the freedom of information request by the Daily Mail, just a month after the chief executive of the Crown Estate wrote a briefing to the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee stating visits were carried out on a “need-only” basis.
