Prince William shows increasing hostility following Prince Andrew's unexpected ambush
In the wake of the Duchess of Kent's significant funeral, a discussion about the future of Prince Andrew within the royal family has surfaced. Royal expert Hilary Fordwich has shared her insights on the matter, stating that Prince William's stance on the 'Andrew problem' is consistent, unwavering, and his influence has been decisive in ensuring Andrew remains sidelined.
The backlash from Prince Andrew's 2019 interview addressing his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has led to his withdrawal from public royal duties. Prince William, it seems, views Andrew's situation as a cautionary example for secondary royal family members. Efforts are underway by William and Kate to prevent similar roles or conflicts for their children, aiming to avoid the public and familial issues exemplified by Andrew and Harry.
According to Fordwich, Prince William is firmly opposed to any public rehabilitation for Prince Andrew. Upon becoming king, it is expected that William will ensure Andrew's complete exclusion from royal life and all public appearances. Fordwich's future vision for Prince Andrew is for him to vanish from public view.
Public opinion polls consistently place Prince Andrew at the bottom, reinforcing William's stance. A pal of Prince William called Duke of York's behavior a 'disgrace'. Another, in a conversation with The Daily Beast, expressed disapproval of Prince Andrew's actions.
Prince William's actions are driven by a desire to protect the monarchy's reputation and safeguard its future. His strained and distant relationship with Prince Andrew is evident, with the Duke of York's behavior likely contributing to this.
The Duchess of Kent, who was a Catholic, was succeeded by Lady Helen Taylor, Lord Nicholas Windsor, and George Windsor, the Earl of St Andrews, following her funeral held in Westminster Cathedral, a first for the Royal Family since its construction in 1903. The Duchess had 10 grandchildren.
In the Duchess of Kent's funeral, Prince William felt 'ambushed'. Despite this, the event has sparked a conversation about the future of the royal family and the role each member plays in maintaining its reputation and future. Fordwich made her comments to Fox News, and it is clear that Prince Andrew's future within the royal family is beyond bleak.
