For a long time, Prince Charles has wanted to 'slim down' the Royal family, he has already dispensed with some privileges like royal protection officers for Beatrice and Eugenie.
When Prince Charles returns from NZ I think there will be decisions to be made.

Re: The Prince Andrew interview
Just found this, the latest news about Prince Andrew's future role in the Royal Family, it seems he's stepping back from royal duties for the foreseeable future."The Duke of York says he is stepping back from royal duties because the Jeffrey Epstein scandal has become a "major disruption" to the Royal Family.
Prince Andrew, 59, said he had asked the Queen for permission to withdraw for the "foreseeable future"."
