PRINCE Charles "read the riot act" to his shamed brother Prince Andrew after dragging him to Sandringham for a showdown.
The next in line to the throne demanded Andrew give up all duties for “the foreseeable future” in the crunch summit with Prince Philip, The Sun can reveal.

Andrew was “read the riot act” by Charles shortly before a Panorama interview on Monday night with Virginia Giuffre — formerly known as Virginia Roberts — piled even more pressure on him.
Ms Giuffre, 35, claims she was among girls forced to operate as sex slaves for Epstein and his friends by British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
She claims Prince Andrew had sex with her when she was 17 — allegations he denies.
But the increasing scrutiny Andrew is facing led to him being summoned to Sandringham to meet Charles and their dad Prince Philip over a light lunch.
'HE HAD LITTLE CHOICE'
A royal source said: “It was all very civilised and calm but Charles calmly read him the riot act and told him there was no way back for him in the near future.
“Andrew thought he was being treated harshly as nothing has yet been proved against him, but he accepted the decision. He really had little choice.”
It is believed Andrew then left and did not stay to watch Monday night’s Panorama, while Charles returned to London for today’s Nato reception at Buckingham Palace.
The Prince of Wales is said to be deeply worried about the impact the scandal is having on the monarchy, unless Andrew goes to the US to clear his name.
But a royal source said: “By doing that, Andrew would remove the mystery around the royal family. It’s a difficult predicament.
“Philip regrets Andrew doesn’t know how to lead a simple life. He thinks he’s been too extravagant.”
FRESH CLAIMS
It comes after it emerged a British woman will tell the FBI and Scotland Yard she saw Andrew dancing with Ms Giuffre at Tramp nightclub — hours before the royal allegedly had sex with the teenager.
The Duke of York, 59, has denied he was with Ms Giuffre at the club — insisting to Newsnight he was at Pizza Express in Woking instead.
But now a key witness — spurred to come forward after watching Andrew’s car-crash BBC interview — claims she saw the pair “feet away” from her on the dancefloor.
Following the explosive development, lawyers warned that prosecutors could look to treat the Prince as a suspect, not just a witness to any crimes.
US lawyer Lisa Bloom said that following Andrew’s TV interview a woman from London, who does not want to be named, approached her “in the last few days”.
ROYAL SCANDAL
Ms Bloom, who represents several victims of Andrew’s paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein, told The Sun: “The woman remembers it vividly. She had never seen a royal before or since. It was a very big moment for her — she stared at him.
"She says he was with Virginia — who looked very young and not happy — but Andrew was smiling and seemed to be very much enjoying himself on the dancefloor.
“She is very afraid but thinks speaking out is very important.”
The explosive Panorama interview revealed five victims of paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein allege the Prince witnessed people being given massages at the sex offender’s homes.
David Boies, the lawyer for the women, plans to serve subpoenas to force the Prince to testify.
And Josh Schiller, a lawyer representing Ms Giuffre, has warned that Andrew would be the target of an FBI investigation and not just a witness “because he is accused of participating in a sex trafficking ring”.

A royal spokesman has said: “It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts.
“Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.”
