A royal expert and former press secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II has revealed the real reason it took King Charles so long to take action against his brother Andrew.
Addressing the People magazine, Ailsa Anderson, who worked for the late Queen from 2001 to 2013, revealed Andrew was ‘dragging his heels’
She said: “Andrew was dragging his heels. They had to take constitutional and legal advice and regarding the lease of Royal Lodge.”
Anderson went on to say, “They had to cross all their I’s and cross their T’s before they made this announcement.”
The report also quotes Anderson as saying the matter would have been complicated for King Charles.
The Queen’s former aide said: “It must be mixed emotions for him. That’s why it’s taken so long. It’s about family and the monarchy, and when the lines are blurred it’s very difficult for them.”
In Andrew’s next chapter, Ailsa Anderson said: “This is unprecedented. He’s been banished to Sandringham. He’s only 65, and you have to wonder what he’s going to do?”
Another royal expert, Catherine Mayer, said: “It’s horrifying for the royal family, and another reason they’ve been so slow to do this.
“They understand well that the survival of the monarchy is not just something that happens through active consent, but also because people don’t think very deeply about the alternatives or have strong enough reasons to think that they want to replace the monarchy. them“.
