Prince William’s Alleged Plans For His Uncle Prince Andrew Revealed

The future king reportedly holds a deep grudge with his uncle and sees him as a liability to the British monarchy’s reputation.

With public support on his side, reports claim Prince William plans to exclude Prince Andrew from any official role once he ascends to the throne.

According to Fox News Digital, royal experts revealed that Prince William is expected to take decisive action regarding Prince Andrew’s role in the monarchy once he becomes king.

British royal expert Hilary Fordwich explained that “Prince William has long had a strained and distant relationship with Andrew,” reportedly holding “a grudge against his disgraced uncle.”

She noted: “Andrew’s future within the royal family is beyond bleak since Prince William is firmly opposed to any public rehabilitation with no foreseeable path back. He wants Andrew to vanish from public view.”

Fordwich emphasized that William’s stance on the matter has remained “consistent and unwavering,” driven by a deep desire to “protect the monarchy’s reputation,” and ensure its long-term survival.

“[William is] very in touch with the public,” she added, per the New York Post. “Every public opinion poll has Andrew at the bottom, reinforcing Prince William’s stance. Once king, no doubt, Prince William will ensure Andrew is completely excluded from royal life, as well as all public appearances.”

Fordwich’s remarks echo recent statements by longtime BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, who told Closer Weekly that William has little interest in managing his uncle’s tarnished reputation.

“William has been a strong voice in managing ‘the Andrew problem,” Bond said. “He is adamant that there is no way back for his uncle.”

Bond emphasized that William is focused on keeping the monarchy relevant in a rapidly changing world.

“I think [the Prince and Princess of Wales] are completely united in doing all they can to keep the monarchy connected with the younger generation,” she explained. “They look modern, they act modern.”

British broadcaster and royal commentator Helena Chard echoed similar sentiments regarding William’s feelings about Andrew in a conversation with Fox News Digital.

Chard said that “Prince William’s role within the royal family is more prominent and influential than ever, as is his center stage position in diplomatic relations.”

“He recognizes the public animosity towards Andrew,” Chard explained. “He views him as a complete liability with his series of scandals, both past and present, shoveling shame on the family. His stance towards his uncle is tough. He will not entertain anyone toxic to the brand. Andrew will not be part of the streamlined monarchy.”

Once positioned as second in line to the British throne, Andrew has become a lasting figure of controversy.

His public image took a significant hit after a widely criticized BBC interview in 2019, which was an attempt to address his connection to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Instead of offering clarity or compassion for Epstein’s victims, Andrew’s responses raised more questions and sparked widespread backlash.

The fallout was swift as his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, removed him from official royal duties and patronages, effectively sidelining him from public life.

In recent years, his older brother, King Charles III, has reportedly sought to further distance the monarchy from scandal by encouraging Andrew to vacate Royal Lodge, a vast, 30-room residence on the Windsor estate, and relocate to a smaller cottage within the castle grounds.

Despite these efforts, Andrew has held onto the property, resisting pressure to downsize.

According to reports, William is also slowly “seizing” power from his father as the monarch continues to battle cancer.

Since King Charles III was diagnosed with the illness last year, he has reportedly handed over more and more responsibilities to the Prince of Wales, seemingly “acknowledging that his time to rule will be sooner rather than later.”

Now, the heir apparent is said to be making bold, tough decisions, regardless of whose toes he steps on, amid his influence growing in recent months.

He is also not hesitating to let go of those who oppose him, particularly when it comes to making decisions he believes will benefit the Crown in the long run.

“It’s no secret that anyone who pushes back against him will be swiftly shown the door,” a palace insider told Intouch.
