Prince Andrew Exile Complete: 'Newsnight' Interview Star Confirms There's 'No Way Back' as Duke Watches TV All Day in 'Rotting' Mansion

Prince Andrew was "railroaded" by "bloodthirsty hypocrites," to ensure his royal exile is here to stay for good, according to a royal source.

The insight comes amid Newsnight producer Sam McAlister's revelation that there is now "no way back" to public royal life for the disgraced Duke.

"I think in the real world in this country, there is no way back," she told Daily Express. "For those of us who are normal British people. No."

Andrew was the subject of a three-part movie on Amazon Prime Video called A Very Royal Scandal. It explores the days leading up to the disgraced Duke of York's "disastrous" November 2019 interview with Emily Maitlis, which McAlister was also heavily involved in.

She added, "The most important people in this story are the young women who were affected by Jeffrey Epstein's behavior and of course Virginia Roberts who made the allegations against Prince Andrew which he denies, but she received a settlement. Justice being done is a very difficult thing to achieve without criminal proceedings. The standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt is a different one."

Reasonable doubt is something backers of the prince frequently cite when assessing HRH's decade-long friendship with the deceased pedophile, who "took his own life" in a prison cell in 2019.

The royal insider added, "Giuffre took a financial settlement, which speaks volumes but people want a villain in the piece. They railroaded this man... and now they smile about it. It is rank hypocrisy because they are also vile creatures shielded by the system."

Although the "they" of the opinion remains vague, McAlister firmly believes "the public" is the main governing body when it comes to Andrew's reputation.

"But in the court of public opinion where Prince Andrew was tried on Newsnight, I think the public drew their own conclusions, and that really in a sense sometimes is the only type of justice that someone can receive," the producer further added.

"I don't know if it will be taken to criminal court," she observed. "It feels that journalism, although a wonderful thing, lots of people feel that unless there is a criminal case there hasn't been the right process. I have no idea whether one will come but obviously he [Prince Andrew] will know that he is not the best witness in the world."

As for "Randy Andy," his well-being is also the source of new reports suggesting the ex-working royal is "wasting precious resources" and "his time" barricaded within its palatial walls.

"Andrew seems to spend most of his time either riding around the huge estate on horseback or reportedly sitting in front of a big screen watching live coverage of planes landing and taking off," veteran royal reporter Jennie Bond shared.
