Prince Harry, who has received a lot of support and sympathy from the public, has made no secret of his thoughts on his disgraced uncle, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The royal family was left shaken when Andrew was arrested by police on Thursday on suspicion of “misconduct in public office”. Although senior members of the royal family, particularly King Charles, have made their position on the ongoing police investigation clear, there is no denying the tensions currently gripping the royal family and the next steps to be taken.
This could have been a major opportunity for the Duke of Sussex to show how unfairly he had been treated, but it appears he is taking the high road on the matter.
The king’s youngest son “made his views on Andrew very clear in his book three years ago, at a time when other parts of the institution remained silent”, a source said. The Mirror.
They said Harry had been “vilified and ostracized by the institution” for speaking his truth. The British press and public have also not been shy about expressing their opinions about Harry “airing the family’s dirty laundry” and “questioning the status quo.”
“I’m not surprised he’s not stepping up to offer his two cents on this,” the source said.
Harry had written in his book Spare: “Despite being embroiled in an embarrassing scandal, accused of sexually abusing a young woman, no one suggested removing his security. People may have a lot of grievances against us, but sexual offenses were not one of them.”
