Prince William is said to be one of the driving forces behind Andrew’s exit from the royal box following his fall from grace due to his dealings with the disgraced financier.
The heir to the British throne, William, believes that Andrew’s past will chase the monarchy like a racehorse if barriers are not put in place to stop him.
King Charles has already officially stripped Andrew of his royal titles and honors. He will no longer be called “Prince Andrew” or “His Royal Highness” but will instead be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
However, William is more eager to sort this out before taking on his destined role. He believes Andrew’s presence will cast a shadow over his reign, and he doesn’t want that baggage when he is crowned.
Some royal commentators appear to be defending the future monarch’s stance against his uncle, explaining why it is important for William to rid himself of the Andrew problem before ascending the throne, especially amid ongoing protests and placards displaying ‘shame’ alongside the image of the disgraced royal in the UK.
William believes that Andrew’s scandal is halting the progress of the monarchy, damaging its reputation and distracting the royal family from carrying out their duties, as it is essential that the institution moves forward with its usual splendor and prestige.
“They operate at different speeds, but in this situation, with someone like Andrew, letting things drag on like this makes the institution look positively old and cumbersome, not a nimble monarchy that can modernize with the times,” said royal commentator Meredith Constant. Fox News.
Meanwhile, Andrew is desperate to take whatever he can get despite his disgrace, trying to salvage as much of his eternal privilege as possible before being ousted from Royal Lodge. The former prince is also fighting a losing battle to protect his dignity and his daughters’ status as princess.
