Royal Family News: Should Prince Charles And William Banish Andrew Forever Once The Queen Is Gone?

British royal family news shows that there are three royals consistently ranked at the bottom of popularity polls: disgraced Prince Andrew, the man formerly known as prince, Harry, and his wife Meghan. In particular Prince Andrew is especially unpopular, and the latest UK YouGov polled showed just 12% of respondents favored him. That is dead last, lower than even the Markle’s who have gotten heat for ignoring her stroke-victim father and trashing his family as neglectful scoundrels.

Who consistently ranks as number one in popularity? Queen Elizabeth, the reigning monarchy and Andrew’s mother.

Royal Family News: Prince Andrew is Not Popular

What contributes to the public’s general dislike of Prince Andrew? In February he settled a sexual abuse lawsuit against him for millions of dollars, out of court. He said he’s innocent.

He has also been called on the carpet for questionable financial dealings, and for his friendships with the dead convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the alive convicted sexual abuser Ghislaine Maxwell.

It is quite a comedown for the man once second in line to the throne. He is now ninth in line for the throne and was once a senior working royal with military honors and prestigious affiliations, all of which have been taken away by the queen following the allegations against him.

Queen Elizabeth is 96-years old and her oldest son Prince Charles will inherit the throne. Where does this leave Prince Andrew? Prince Charles and his son and heir Prince William, “have a strong bond and will be working side-by-side when it is their time to take over the most prestigious role in the United Kingdom. Many have thought the queen’s protection over Prince Andrew may be caused by what the future of the family will look like.”

Royal Family News – Is Andrew Protected?

Queen Elizabeth is rumored to favor Andrew but he was absent at the recent Order of the Garter ceremony. Will this change when Charles and William are in charge?

An insider told the New York Post, “It’s interesting because the Queen seems to protect Andrew a lot, so maybe this is a sign of the next generation coming into power. It was surprising to me that Andrew was going to be involved to begin with, not that he actually got uninvited.” One thing is certain, Andrew and the rest of the world will have to wait to see what fate awaits him once the throne changes hands.
