Prince Andrew could have his access to Royal Family estates restricted in a new sanction implemented by the monarchy.
The Royal Family has been left “exasperated” by the latest revelations to emerge regarding Prince Andrew.
Reports on Saturday evening claimed Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein they were “in this together” the day after a picture of him with Virginia Giuffre was published.
The Duke of York had previously said he severed all communication with the convicted financier in December 2010.

However, newly leaked correspondence appeared to show the Duke writing to Epstein on February 28, 2011.
The Royal Family has few avenues left to pursue against Prince Andrew after the Duke of York stepped down as a working royal and lost his patronages following his disastrous interview with the BBC in 2019.
Additionally, Prince Andrew has already been stripped of his military titles and is banned from using his much cherished HRH honorific.
However, King Charles could restrict his brother’s access to Balmoral, Sandringham and Windsor as part of a new sanction against the disgraced duke.

The newly released email casts fresh doubt over the Duke's previous public statements regarding the timeline of his association with Epstein.
The exchange occurred the day following publication of a photograph showing the Duke with his arm around Ms Giuffre at Ghislaine Maxwell's London residence.
In the 2011 message to Epstein that was released over the weekend, Prince Andrew stated they were "in this together" and would need to "rise above it".
According to reports in The Sun and The Mail on Sunday, Prince Andrew wrote to Epstein: "I'm just as concerned for you! Don't worry about me!"
The photograph in question is of Prince Andrew alongside Virginia Giuffre when she was 17 years old, taken at the Belgravia home of socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

The Duke continued: "It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we'll play some more soon!!!!"
He concluded the message with his signature: "A, HRH The Duke of York, KG," referencing his Knight of the Garter title, which he has retained since 2006.
The Duke of York’s office did not comment on the email when contacted by GB News.
The photograph in question is of Prince Andrew alongside Virginia Giuffre when she was 17 years old, taken at the Belgravia home of socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
During his 2019 Newsnight interview with the BBC, the Duke rejected Ms Giuffre's account, stating the London meeting "never happened".
He suggested the image might have been falsified, telling the broadcaster: "Nobody can prove whether or not that photograph has been doctored but I don't recollect that photograph ever being taken."
In February 2022, Prince Andrew reached a financial settlement to resolve civil proceedings initiated against him by Ms. Giuffre in the United States.
Court documents indicate the settlement exceeded £12 million, though the Duke did not accept liability.
