Andrea and the secret journey to circumvent Carlo’s will

The Mirror reports exclusively on Prince Andrew’s new strategic decision against King Charles’ wishes. The recently disgraced Duke of York is said to be on a secret visit to Bahrain. According to reports, it was a business trip as the prince would like to obtain an unofficial role as an intermediary between the West and the Gulf States.

In times of very strong energy crisis, Andrea would therefore like to do her part and play the role of ambassador to the most oil-rich countries. This, however, did not fit the plans of his older brother, Charles III, who firmly barred him from any public role and service in the UK.

According to the news, therefore, the Duke of York would have visited the scene last week by traveling on a private jet loaned by one of his Swiss billionaire contacts. Buckingham Palace did not include the prince’s trip among the planned engagements, as he is no longer a working royal. But it is said that the intention was precisely to act to favor the Crown.

While King Charles would love to see his brother further and further removed from the public eye, it looks like Prince Andrew is meticulously planning his comeback. Sources say he is “imagining his chances” of another term as the government’s special representative for international trade and investment. The visit to Saudi Arabia was reportedly aimed at convincing the countries to increase oil production.

Others said he would be traveling to Bahrain on vacation as a “privately funded” guest of honor. It is also claimed that he even considers the Middle East a “safe haven to settle in”. As he continues his standoff with King Charles, the Duke of York also seems to have the favors of his other brothers: Princess Anne and Prince Edward.

According to the Mail on Sunday, days before Charles’ birthday, all the brothers gathered in Windsor to support Prince Andrew. It appears the Sovereign was unhappy with the public support and would like the Duke of York to live out of the spotlight. The source said Anna and Edoardo were “privately worried” about Andrea and “wanted to check it out”. But the King is of the opinion that ‘it shouldn’t be in the public eye’ and for that ‘he wasn’t thrilled at all’.
