The latest bombshell claims about Prince Andrew have proved the final straw for his nephew, a royal expert has claimed. The heir to the throne wants his wayward uncle to "vanish" from the royal spotlight.
The disgraced Duke of York, 65, has been accused of acting "inappropriately" towards a female masseuse after she was summoned to Buckingham Palace in 2000 by convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.
Monique Giannelloni, 60, who is writing a book about her experience, said Andrew entered the room where she had set up her work table and immediately stripped naked in front of her.
Royal Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital: "This is yet another national and royal embarrassment for all. Prince William, 42, so wants his uncle Andrew to vanish from public view."

The Duke was sacked from frontline royal duties in 2021 after he paid undisclosed damages to Virginia Roberts, who says she was trafficked by Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein and forced to have sex with Andrew when she was 17.
But despite his reclusive lifestyle, controversy continues to follow the King's middle brother. As well as the claims by Ms Gianneloni, he has been at the centre of an alleged Chinese spy scandal and faced fresh questions over his business dealings in the past few months alone.
Fordwich also claimed King Charles is "beyond exasperated" at the situation, while royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital the situation is reaching boiling point behind the scenes.
"More allegations of potential impropriety will cause King Charles and Prince William [to take] further action," he said. "William has gained a reputation for being hot-headed, and even Charles could see this as the last straw with his brother."
Speaking to MailOnline, Ms Gianneloni said Maxwell told her she was being booked to provide a massage for a "high-profile contact" who was "more famous than God".

Describing her response when Andrew stripped naked, she said: "Andrew showed a complete disregard for my professionalism. Of course, I have seen naked bodies while working before, but his behaviour was driven by his sense of entitlement."
"I am a respectable and qualified massage therapist," she added. "I was not impressed by his behaviour. It was an abuse of his privilege."
The masseuse also questioned the security arrangements at Buckingham Palace, revealing that her car registration on a list was enough to get her into the heart of the royal apartments.
