King Charles and the rest of the royal family have reportedly banished Prince Andrew amid a series of controversies. According to a palace source, the Duke of York was missing from the recent church visit.
Meanwhile, the king, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other royals followed their Sunday tradition at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral Castle. Reportedly, the royal family felt that Andrew’s presence was “too toxic.”
Prince Andrew’s absence from King Charles’ church visit is a loud and clear message, says source
Prince Andrew has seemingly been a thorn in King Charles’ and the royal family’s side for a while now due to his string of controversies. His link to Jeffrey Epstein and a new book by Andrew Lownie have seemingly got him on the wrong side of the monarchy.
A report claimed that the royals sent a loud and clear message with the recent absence of the Duke of York from their Sunday church visit. A palace insider told Rob Shuter, “The message is clear: he’s no longer welcome in the pews alongside the King, Queen, or the Prince and Princess of Wales.”
Allegedly, his non-attendance at Crathie Kirk was not an “oversight.” Shuter further reported that his presence supposedly has been considered “too toxic,” which is why he has reportedly been receiving a cold shoulder from the royal family.
The Jeffrey Epstein controversy and the 2019 BBC interview had already tarnished his reputation. Moreover, the new release of historian Lownie’s book, “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” added fuel to the fire.
Whenever Andrew attended any royal ceremony or gathering, he gained a lot of attention. Hence, during the church visit, King Charles reportedly didn’t want “the focus shifts from faith to scandal” and wanted to avoid “that circus.”
The duke apparently still associates himself with “the core family,” but the reality seems to be the opposite. “The Windsors have moved on — without him,” a confidant told Shuter. Earlier, a report suggested that Prince William had cut off all ties with his uncle. He would seemingly strip Andrew of his titles once he became the king.
