Queen Camilla, Princess Anne and Prince Edward have reportedly urged King Charles III to show greater leniency towards his younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as he seeks to join the royal family’s Christmas celebrations.

The claims were reported by Heat World, which cited unnamed sources said to be familiar with the family’s discussions. The alleged conversations and the family’s Christmas plans have not been independently verified.

One source told the publication that Andrew’s confidence had improved following a recent legal development involving Thames Valley Police, which acknowledged that search warrants obtained in connection with its investigation had been issued unlawfully. The police investigation into Andrew remains ongoing. <Cite refs={[“turn811909search7″,”turn811909search13”]}/>

“Something of the old Andrew has returned. The spirit of the grand old Duke of York has been rekindled,” the source was quoted as saying.

Another source said Andrew remained worried about his legal difficulties but claimed that the recent development had boosted his confidence.

The report said Andrew was focused on securing an invitation to the family’s traditional Christmas gathering at Sandringham, although no invitation had been confirmed.

According to the publication, Camilla, Anne and Edward had encouraged the King to show his brother greater mercy. The report also claimed that Charles wanted to keep his distance from Andrew.

Prince William, the Prince of Wales, was reportedly opposed to his uncle attending the gathering, according to the same report.

The claims about the royals’ private discussions and Christmas arrangements remain unconfirmed.
