Prince Andrew has not worked for the Crown for nearly five years, but his royal dry spell could be set to end for a "perfect" role in the Royal Household.

"Could Prince Andrew fly back into the royal fold?" royal correspondent Richard Eden teased.

King Charles III is officially seeking a helicopter pilot for The King's Helicopter Flight, which comes with an annual salary the Jeffrey Epstein associate "desperately needs."

The royal job advert reads, "As an experienced multi-engine helicopter commander, you will act as either Pilot in Command or Co-Pilot. You'll be responsible for the planning and safe execution of flights and duties in accordance with TKHF Operations Manual."

The Duke of York famously piloted helicopters during the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina in 1982. He continued this skill during his years of service in the Royal Navy before retiring in 2001.

The position comes at a precarious time for Andrew thanks to his feud with the boss, his elder brother, the King.

Both Queen Elizabeth II and His Majesty "let down" the Duke over Virginia Giuffre's sexual assault claims, a new report claimed.

Attorney Paul Tweed, a close friend of the York family, claims that Buckingham Palace's alleged mishandling of the allegations against Andrew, particularly after his infamous 2019 Newsnight interview regarding his connection to the convicted s-- offender, helped lead the Duke to his current state.

Tweed details in his new book My Life as an International Libel Lawyer to the Rich and Famous that the palace's failure to immediately address the interview's fallout with a public statement worsened Andrew’s situation and exposed him to more scrutiny.

The lack of swift action is seen as a major error, leaving "Randy Andy" to bear the brunt of public outrage without adequate support from the monarchy.

As for Andrew's fate in the new reign, a "well-placed source" allegedly told a publication the scandal-ridden Duke has until the end of this year to satisfy the Crown Estate's demands for his "rotting home" the Royal Lodge. The governing body, which does not need the reigning monarch's permission to manage select royal properties, reportedly told "Randy Andy" that some $2.6 million dollars in repairs needed to be funded before the new year to avoid the now-rumored eviction.

"Andrew has been asked to prove that he has the financial resources in place to conduct the necessary repairs to Royal Lodge," the source spilled. "If he is unable to do that by the end of the year, formal discussions will be held with the Crown Estate about how best to move forward."

The eighth in line to the throne will likely not be able to finance the renovations as the King reportedly cut off his lucrative yearly allowance the late Elizabeth II showered on the pampered "rotund prince." His Majesty also allegedly severed his younger brother's security detail at the compound, which is set to expire this month.
