Prince William has reportedly taken a firm attitude towards his uncle, Prince Andrew, in the midst of rumors that he may be returning to public tasks.

This comes after Andrew joined King Charles and Queen Camilla at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle for Easter Service

Royal expert Jennie Bond claimed that William’s approach to keeping the “quarreled” Duke of York from making a royal return is driven by a desire to protect the future of the monarchy.

In a speech with the mirror, the expert claimed that the prince of Wales is focused on protecting the monarchy and recognizing the public’s negative view of Andrew.

“I think William is harder about this and maybe more willing to take a tough stand on his uncle,” the expert said.

She added. “I think his reason is that he is determined to protect the monarchy and show that they all understand the strength of public animosity towards Andrew.

“William is increasingly a power player in family dynamics, and while Charles may show a softer attitude, I don’t think William will ever see a return to any form of public role for Prince Andrew.”
