Prince William has been a driving force behind Prince Andrew’s decision, says an expert.
The Prince of Wales, who reportedly could not tolerate his uncle’s constant defamation and association with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has forced King Charles to make a decision.
Speaking to the Mirror, expert Jennie Bond revealed: “I think William has been pushing for tougher action against his uncle for a long time. It must be so disheartening to work so hard to make the monarchy relatable, modern and a force for good in the world – only for its reputation to be so relentlessly destroyed by lurid headlines about Andrew.
“I suspect he was heavily involved in the discussions about what action to take and I think William was the driving force behind twisting Andrew’s arm so far behind his back that he eventually shouted that he was going to give up his title,” she added.
The expert continued: “William is set on making changes to the monarchy and once his mind is made up he is completely focused on achieving his goals. The ‘Andrew problem’ was becoming an intolerable obstacle to those goals and William was determined to clear the way. He would have been a powerful voice in the discussions between the king and his brother.”
