Ex-Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal titles following a controversy and was ordered to vacate the Royal Lodge. While the former Prince abided by the orders, he continues to live a lavish lifestyle as before, much to Prince William‘s dismay. The Prince of Wales, as per sources, believes his extravagant way of living “should have ended the moment Andrew lost his royal roles.”
Prince William ‘desperate to avoid’ Ex-Prince Andrew’s ‘damaging’ public reckoning, says source
Former Prince Andrew may have been stripped of his royal titles, but according to sources, he continues to live a lavish lifestyle, much to Prince William’s displeasure. According to sources, the Prince of Wales’s “tolerance for Andrew’s situation is almost non-existent.”
“He looks at the way his uncle continues to live and sees it as a direct affront to the standards the monarchy is supposed to uphold. In William’s mind, the era of indulgence should have ended the moment Andrew lost his royal roles,” the tipster told RadarOnline.com.
The individual revealed that the former prince “continues to insist on all the trappings of a grand household.” His “dinner is still presented as a full, formal affair each night, complete with silver service, regardless of whether he is entertaining guests or sitting alone at the table.”
However, it seems the Prince of Wales is pulling back from taking harsh measures because if “Andrew feels financially strangled and completely stripped of security, he may reach the conclusion that he has nothing left to protect.”
And in that case, his “instinct to act out” might kick in. The chances of him “speaking publicly or pursuing his own interests without regard for the family becomes far more likely.”
Moreover, if Andrew “starts to feel deliberately punished or boxed into a corner,” he might monetize his experience. He might end up agreeing to a “memoir” or a “high-profile television interview” for financial security.
“That is why William has to tread carefully, unleashing that kind of public reckoning would be deeply damaging and is exactly the outcome the royal family is desperate to avoid,” the source revealed.
