Prince William may have given King Charles an “ultimatum” to sideline Prince Andrew after his controversial history. There have been reports about the father and son having conflicting opinions about the disgraced member of the British royal family. Recent claims also suggested that William wanted Charles to “banish” Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
The Duke of York’s scandalous past led to him being stripped of his military titles, royal patronages, and official usage of His Royal Highness in 2022. According to the latest claims, William has managed to sideline Andrew from future public family events permanently. This also seemingly highlighted how the Prince of Wales used his power as the future monarch.
Prince William ‘has just shown the world who’s really in charge,’ source claims
A new report claims Prince William has convinced King Charles to sideline Prince Andrew from the British royal family’s future public events. Rob Shuter exclusively learned from palace insiders that the Prince of Wales gave an “ultimatum” to his father. According to a well-placed courtier, William said, “Andrew goes, or the monarchy does.”
Over the years, Charles reportedly tried quietly rehabilitating his brother after the latter’s controversial past. However, it appears the king finally gave in to his elder son’s opinion about the disgraced royal. The source continued that Andrew will “never appear alongside William again.” They added, “Not at Christmas, not at Easter, not ever.”
According to Shuter’s report, this will immediately be implemented. Andrew will reportedly be invited to Sandringham for Christmas, a decades-old tradition. A senior royal aide explained that this “decision makes one thing crystal clear.” They stated that although Charles “wears the crown,” William “has the power.”
Another veteran royal observer declared to Shuter that Prince Andrew is “finished.” The future king, Prince William, has “just shown the world who’s really in charge.” The latest claims come after the Prince of Wales recently spent some private father-son time with King Charles in Balmoral.
