Prince William Plans Complete Exclusion of Prince Andrew From Royal Life

Prince Andrew has relinquished his Duke of York title amid ongoing scandals related to his association with Jeffrey Epstein, a decision influenced by King Charles and strongly supported by Prince William. William, along with Princess Kate Middleton, reportedly hold a deep grudge against Andrew, not only due to these scandals but also because of past personal grievances, and are planning to ostracize him from royal life, including excluding him from future royal events once William becomes king. The feud between William and Andrew was publicly visible during the Duchess of Kent's funeral, where William's cold demeanor towards Andrew hinted at the family's decision to distance themselves from the disgraced prince. Despite Andrew stepping down from his title, he still holds his prince title by birthright, and his continued residence near William and Kate's future home at Windsor remains a point of contention. The late Queen reportedly showed signs of displeasure with Andrew's handling of his Epstein relationship, marking a shift from her earlier favoritism towards him. Royal experts suggest that William's efforts reflect a broader aim to protect the monarchy's image and reduce scandal-related distractions from the royal family's duties.
