Prince Harry and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly earned a blunt and unflattering nickname from palace courtiers. Sources say the label reflected long-standing concerns about the pressure both men were believed to have put on the British monarchy over the years. Both men have since stepped back from their roles as senior working royals, albeit under very different circumstances.
Palace staff dub Prince Harry and Ex-Prince Andrew with brutal nickname — report
Palace aides reportedly use a harsh nickname for Prince Harry and Ex-Prince Andrew, reflecting how their repeated controversies have overshadowed the work of the wider royal family. Sources told The Times that staff inside Buckingham Palace referred to Harry and Andrew as the “Dukes of Hazard.”
Harry formally stepped down from royal duties in 2020 alongside Meghan Markle, triggering an ongoing and highly publicized rift with the Royal Family. Since then, his relationship with the monarchy has remained strained, fueled by interviews, documentaries, and memoir revelations that repeatedly placed the institution under intense scrutiny. Although his September meeting with King Charles raised hopes of reconciliation, Prince Harry’s recent public appearances point in a different direction.
The Duke of Sussex surprised viewers by appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he leaned into comedy. While the Hallmark audition skit aimed for humor, critics reacted harshly, with some calling it an embarrassment to both his family and the country.
Andrew, meanwhile, fell into deeper disgrace after his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein came to light. Though Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, the fallout proved severe. In recent years, King Charles III stripped him of his remaining titles, honors, and public role from official royal life. Beyond the Epstein scandal, Andrew repeatedly generated damaging headlines due to questionable associations and behaviour. With the Epstein Transparency Act of 2025 now in force, the U.S. Department of Justice has released thousands of images, documents, and emails, once again placing his past actions under renewed scrutiny.
