Prince William played driving role in Prince Andrew’s decision, says expert.
The Prince of Wales, who could not have tolerated his uncle’s constant defamation and association with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, forced King Charles to make a decision.
Speaking to the Mirror, expert Jennie Bond reveals: “I think William has long been calling for tougher action against his uncle. It must be so disheartening to work hard to make the monarchy accessible, modern and a force for good in the world – only for its reputation to be so relentlessly trashed by lurid headlines about Andrew.
“I suspect he was heavily involved in discussions about what action to take, and I believe William was the driving force in twisting Andrew’s arm so far behind his back that he finally shouted that he would relinquish his title,” she added.
The expert continued: “William is determined to make changes to the monarchy, and once he has made up his mind, he focuses entirely on achieving his goals. The ‘Andrew problem’ was becoming an intolerable obstacle to those goals, and William was determined to lead the way. His voice would have been a strong voice in discussions between the king and his brother.”
