Prince Andrew 'keeping an eye' on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's US ventures as he plans new career path

Prince Andrew is reportedly keeping a close eye on his nephew Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle and their successful ventures in the United States after he lost his own roles and titles, hopeful to forge a new career path.

After the late Queen Elizabeth II stripped her second son of his military titles and royal patronages in January 2022, King Charles has reportedly given permission for his 62-year-old brother to seek "low-key" business interests, The Sun reports.

An insider claimed: "Andrew is less bothered than people think about losing his titles and official royal roles. He is thinking about how he can forge a new career."

"They have managed to set up a new working life away from the Royal Family and that is something Andrew has been following very, very closely.

"He is very interested in the businesses and charity side of things, rather than doing anything on Netflix," the source claimed.
