Pictures of Prince William and Prince Andrew Together Spark Anger in the Eldest Son of Charles
The Duchess of Kent's funeral on Tuesday, 16 September, at Westminster Cathedral, London, was marked by unexpected controversy as Prince Andrew made an appearance. The latest biography about the Duke of York, "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York" by historian Andrew Lownie, published in 2022, has shed light on scandals and contentious aspects of Prince Andrew's life, including his connections to the Epstein case.
The book, also known as "The Most Devastating Royal Biography Ever Written", has been a bestseller, causing a stir within the royal family. Prince William, the Prince of Wales and future King, has reportedly tried to avoid photographs with Prince Andrew for years, according to a source. Photos of Prince William standing by Prince Andrew have circulated online, showing him looking away and avoiding engagement.
King Charles and Prince William are said to have differing views on how Prince Andrew should function within the royal family. While Charles has adhered to a safe policy of not tearing the royal family apart, William is rumoured to take a "ruthless" approach when he becomes King. This alleged disdain for his uncle is believed to have started long before Prince Andrew's controversial friendship with Jeffrey Epstein came under scrutiny.
Prince Andrew's appearance at the funeral came as a surprise to many and caused a reaction from the crowds. It is worth noting that Prince Andrew was stripped of his military titles, patronages, and HRH title following a sexual abuse lawsuit in 2022. Despite this, he still resides at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, a point of contention between him and Prince William.
The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the funeral, but Queen Camilla was unable to attend due to illness. The biography covers Prince Andrew's life from his university days to his relationship with the Princess of Wales. Another royal biography about Prince William was written by Robert Jobson, the author of the book about Prince Andrew, in 2022.
A friend of Prince William claimed that he was "furious" and felt "ambushed" by the positioning at the funeral. Christopher Wilson, a royal historian, stated that William has hard-nosed ideas about how the Royal family needs to appear in the current social media world. Wilson believes that William's approach to the royal family will be different and he will be "ruthless".
Robert Jobson, the author of the biography, has been a royal correspondent for many years. Despite the controversy surrounding the Duke of York, it seems that the royal family continues to navigate challenging times, with the future King taking a more assertive stance in shaping its image.
