Tension Between Prince William and Prince Andrew Linked to Remarks About Kate
A strained relationship between Prince William and his uncle, Prince Andrew, is said to be at least partly rooted in an incident involving the Princess of Wales, Kate.
The Daily Mail has published excerpts from a revealing new book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the Yorks, which details Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s “hedonistic life, controversial friendships, and secretive money-making endeavours.”
One source told author Andrew Lownie that long-standing issues have existed between the Duke of York and William, especially as Andrew’s public image has suffered. According to the insider, Andrew had been “rude” about Kate, though no specifics of the alleged comments were revealed.
Efforts to Remove Andrew from Royal Lodge
The book also claims William has been pushing for years to have Andrew—who resides with Sarah Ferguson—removed from the Royal Lodge on Windsor Castle’s grounds.
“He [William] also loathes Sarah, Andrew’s ex-wife, and can’t wait for the day when his father throws them both out,” the source alleged. “If Charles doesn’t, I guarantee you the first thing William does when he eventually becomes king is to get them evicted.”
Earlier this year, Andrew joined the royal family for the annual Easter service at Windsor, but the Prince and Princess of Wales were notably absent.
“William has no time for his uncle. This Easter was about spending time with his own family, but he would far prefer a situation where he doesn’t have to spend time with him,” a royal source told The Mirror.
