Prince Andrew 'desperate' for 'rehabilitation' as working royal

Prince Andrew is continuing to live his life in isolation as he makes decisions with the help of his lawyer amid his sexual assault scandal.

Sources close to the estranged royal told Independent.co.uk: "There are fears he’s making judgements in isolation and only speaking to his lawyer."

"He’s seeing nobody, there’s a real element of isolation there, it feels like he’s becoming a recluse.

"He is desperate for rehabilitation but does not understand the humility and penance he needs to show following the case.

"He’s stuck inside this bubble of wanting to have a role in the royal family when he doesn’t have one any more," they noted.
