Prince William has been a driving force behind Prince Andrew’s decision, expert says.
The Prince of Wales, who apparently could not tolerate his uncle’s constant defamation and association with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has forced King Charles to make a decision.
Speaking to the Mirror, expert Jennie Bond reveals: “I think William has been pushing for tougher action against his uncle for a long time. “It must be very disheartening to work hard to make the monarchy relatable, modern and a force for good in the world, only to have your reputation so relentlessly trashed by lurid headlines about Andrew.
“I suspect he was very involved in the discussions about what action should be taken, and I believe William was the driving force in twisting Andrew’s arm to such an extent behind his back that he finally shouted that he was giving up his title,” he added.
The expert continued: “William is determined to make changes to the monarchy and, once he has made a decision, he is completely focused on achieving his objectives. The ‘Andrew problem’ was becoming an intolerable obstruction to those objectives, and William was determined to clear the way. His would have been a forceful voice in the discussions between the king and his brother.”
