Royal Family News – Why is Prince Andrew So Quiet?

Previously Andrew denied wrongdoing and maintained his innocence, saying he had no memory of having met Roberts. It is reported that Prince Charles and William, “were instrumental in forcing Andrew to step back from royal duties in November 2019 in the wake of the disastrous BBC interview he gave in an attempt to clear his name.”

A source told the Mail yesterday, “The family find themselves in an extraordinarily difficult and sensitive situation given the nature of the allegations.”

“They are limited in what they can say publicly and now that the Duke of York is no longer a working royal they are actually rather limited in what control they can exert over the situation privately.”
