And you thought Prince William and Prince Harry’s brotherly feud was bad. Apparently, King Charles is desperate to have Prince Andrew fade into the background without any grief, but the Duke of York just won’t let that happen.
Even though he’s not allowed to do any more royal engagements or appear in public as a working royal, Andrew is still adamant that he can get back into the limelight, despite his sketchy reputation. Here’s what you need to know.
King Charles Desperately Wants Prince Andrew To Fade Into The Background
King Charles has made it pretty clear to his brother that he needs to take several steps back. But each time he tries to make that happen, Prince Andrew just pushes himself forward.Andrew To Fade Into The Background
Andrew doesn’t seem to understand that his brother, the King of England, wants him to stay away from public life mostly because of his disgraceful sexual assault scandal.
According to royal expert Russell Myers, the feud between Charles and Andrew is about to get pretty nasty behind closed doors. That’s because Charles is really to strip his brother from everything and even kick him out of his home, The Royal Lodge, while he’s at it.
Myers put it this way, “He wasn’t [included in the Order of the Garter procession] last year, the Queen sort of banned him. It was deemed that it would be unsavory to see him in the procession.
He did attend the lunches afterward at Windsor Castle, and he was allowed to wear the robes during the Coronation. But [he wasn’t] seen this time. It’s an interesting situation for the King. How much does he want Andrew to be seen in public?”
What’s Next For Prince Andrew?
Myers continued, “I suppose he just wants him to try and retire and not cause him any grief! He’ll just hope that Andrew sort of fades into the background.”
So far Buckingham Palace hasn’t made any comment about the matter. However, it does seem like Prince Andrew is hellbent on getting things his way and that he’s not going to have his brother push him into oblivion. Watch this space as we have a feeling there is so much more to come.
