The former Prince Andrew has been busy for the past few decades creating drama and scandals for the Royal Family.
King Charles III, the late Queen, and other relatives took these things in their stride and even looked the other way, hoping that Andrew would change his disturbing pattern of behavior.
This pattern included his deep ties with Jeffrey Epstein, which eventually led to many accusations, including a lawsuit from Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was forced to sleep with him when she was only 17.
However, as the rest of the Royal Family mulled over these problematic actions and took some time to react, Kate Middleton was quick and decisive. She was the first one to decide to cut ties with the disgraced uncle once and for all.
The Princess Of Wales Leads The Exile
The Princess of Wales refused to speak to Andrew at family functions and during holidays, and went out of her way not to appear in pictures with him, as royal author Christopher Andersen revealed.
“She is the first royal to cut him off, to turn her back on him,” Andersen explained regarding her resolve.
The princess also barred the controversial royal from attending her famous Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey. Even when Andrew tried to negotiate a quiet entry, the response from Prince William and Kate Middleton was cold and definitive.
“He asked, through intermediaries, if he could slip in a side door,” Andersen revealed, adding that the duke was bluntly told, “Nope, we don’t want your face on camera.”
Protecting The Future Of The Crown
Andersen explained that the Princess of Wales had two very good reasons for acting so decisively. “Kate is looking forward,” he opined, noting that she refuses to let the monarchy be tarnished by tawdry revelations and associations.
As the wife of a future King and the mother of another, Prince George, she views her distance from Andrew as a necessary means to the survival of the institution.
It comes as no surprise that Kate decided to remove Andrew from her vicinity; she has young children and would never allow them around Andrew and the debauchery of his life.
Additionally, the animosity is mutual. Andrew never liked Kate and made disparaging comments when she first entered the family. Regarding her middle-class roots, a source revealed that Andrew reportedly stated, in a bitter and angry tone, that she was “not fit for the role” and “lacked the necessary breeding” to join the Firm.
The Final Fall From Grace
As more emails and photos leaked and the justice system continued to investigate the matter, King Charles was left with only one path: to strip Andrew of his titles and evict him from the Royal Lodge. The situation reached its peak when Andrew was eventually arrested following the latest wave of evidence.
While the King manages the legal fallout, the source reveals that it was Kate’s “20/20 eyesight” regarding Andrew’s character that set the standard for the family’s new era.
Regarding the York family’s future, the source stated that the princess has successfully “built a fortress” around her children to ensure the “disturbing stench” of Andrew’s past never touches the future of the monarchy.
Additionally, Kate Middleton has distanced herself from Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.
