The ongoing scandals surrounding Prince Andrew cast a shadow over the positive efforts of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
According to Online speed camerasThe Duke of York’s controversies continue to damage the reputation of the monarchy and overshadow the work of senior members of the royal family.
Now pressure is mounting on King Charles to take stronger action to protect the royal family’s legacy.
It comes after a resurfaced email showed Andrew telling Jeffrey Epstein “we’re in this together” after a photo of him with his arm around teenage Virginia Giuffre was first published in 2011.
“The warm tone of this email — with Andrew telling Epstein ‘We’re in this together’ — completely undermines his claim that his connection with Epstein was distant,” the insider said.
“This is more than humiliating: it undermines public trust,” the source continued.
“All the good work done by members of the royal family, from Prince William’s Earthshot initiative to the Princess of Wales’s early childhood campaign, continues to be overshadowed by Andrew’s scandals.
The monarchy cannot continue to suffer these blows from its past. Sooner or later something has to change. »
The source added: “If King Charles really wants to safeguard the monarchy, he may have no choice but to take stronger action.
“The late queen acted to protect the reputation of the monarchy. Now Charles faces the same moment of reckoning: deciding whether to follow her example or go even further, and he has many options at his disposal.”
After widespread criticism, Andrew finally gave up his title as Duke of York as calls for King Charles to take strict action against him grew.
