Tension inside the royal circle is growing following reports that Prince Andrew has lost another royal privilege — something that insiders say would never have happened if Queen Elizabeth II were still alive. A senior palace aide shared that the late monarch would have been “horrified” to see her son stripped of the title he was born with. According to the palace aide, the late queen “believed titles were sacred.”
Prince Andrew would have not have been stripped of his title if Queen Elizabeth was around, says source
Rob Shuter exclusively reported that removing Prince Andrew’s title would have offended Queen Elizabeth II, so much so that she would not even have allowed it. According to a royal insider, removing a title “from a blood prince would have been unthinkable.” The remark echoes a sentiment apparently shared by many within the queen’s former household, who see the move as a break from the values she defended for seventy years.
According to the columnist, Elizabeth’s steady hand once held the institution together through times of scandal and loss. Shuter said that in her absence, the monarchy feels less stable. The royal expert noted, “This is the most symbolic damage to royal tradition since Diana.” He explained that “If Elizabeth were alive, this would not be happening.”
Several courtiers described the atmosphere at the palace as tense and emotional. A source shared, “You can feel her absence in the corridors,” adding, “She was the barrier. Now everything is up for renegotiation.” Others reportedly spoke of disbelief and even tears within the staff who served the late queen, referring to the decision as openly violating a royal tradition.
Queen Elizabeth was famously loyal to her family, often stepping in privately to protect Prince Andrew over the years. Insiders believe her approach came from a deep respect for royal tradition and from a mother’s instinct to defend her son.
