Prince William wants his ‘temperamental’ Uncle Andrew ‘as far away as possible’

The future king and his wife, Kate Middletonwould adopt a “zero tolerance” policy towards any scandalous subject that could affect the royal family.

Reports suggest former Prince Andrew’s continued stay in the country will do little to reduce public backlash and could see him move to the Middle East.

Why Prince William is pushing for his disgraced Uncle Andrew to be permanently exiled

William is apparently insisting on permanently closing the door on his uncle, Andrew, following controversies that have arisen due to his association with the late sex offender, Epstein.

The disgraced royal has been evicted from his 30-room residence at the Royal Lodge and is expected to take refuge in a private residence on the Sandringham estate owned by King Charles, but royal expert Hillary Fordwich claims William not only wants him evicted from his home, but completely separated from the monarchy.

“Prince William, in particular, is the strongest supporter of Andrew’s removal from the royal family,” Fordwich said. Fox News Digital. “He wants his wayward uncle to get as far away as possible.”

“He does not want his reign to be overshadowed by such scandals – let alone live in constant fear of another damaging revelation with lurid headlines,” she continued.

“The last thing William wants, while focusing on his duty and modernizing the monarchy, is to have responsibility for Andrew,” Fordwich added. “He wants distance in every sense of the word. He is also in tune with public opinion, and the problem is trust in the monarchy.”

Former Duke of York could be exiled abroad

Meanwhile, several reports have emerged suggesting that Andrew would prefer to go abroad rather than stay close to the royal family.

In fact, some royal experts believe the royal family would welcome this option, and many consider the Middle East to be their preferred destination.

“The king saw the king of Bahrain the other day,” said royal expert Robert Jobson, according to PeopleReview. “You never know – this could be a place where Andrew would be recognized as Queen Elizabeth’s second son, rather than that.”

“Other disgraced people have gone to the Middle East,” Jobson added. “Andrew has done a lot of business in Bahrain and he is still relatively young.”

British broadcaster Helena Chard said Fox News Digital that “the monarchy comes first” and that it will be easier for them to “distance themselves from Andrew and his scandals if he moves abroad”.

The United States is not an option for Andrew

The Epstein scandal has seen some big names come under fire for their links to the late sex offender following the partial release of the Epstein files by Donald Trump’s administration.

Unlike his nephew, Prince Harry, who moved to the United States after stepping back from his royal role in 2020, Andrew may not be able to take that route as the royal family reportedly seeks to avoid any diplomatic row.

“We’re hearing that King Charles and Prince William are planning to visit the United States this year, and they don’t want controversies to overshadow their diplomatic visit,” Chard noted.

“A source has confirmed that the Abu Dhabi royal family holds Andrew in high regard,” she said, adding that Andrew “already has an invitation to live a luxurious lifestyle in the UAE if life becomes too difficult in the UK.”

Former prince’s ties to Epstein were ‘damaging’ to the royal family’s image

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams shared the same sentiment about Andrew and the controversies surrounding him.

Fitzwilliams said the former duke and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson’s, links to Epstein “have been extremely damaging to the image of the institution.”

He added that there were discussions “so that Abu Dhabi can offer him a home and, without doubt, a refuge.”

“The FBI wants to talk to him about his ties to Epstein, and it’s unclear what might surface,” the royal expert said.

Prince William and Kate Middleton apply “zero tolerance” to scandals

Meanwhile, William and his wife Kate Middleton are said to have “zero tolerance” for any scandals and issues that could jeopardize the royal family’s image.

The Prince of Wales has remained adamant about not extending an olive branch to his younger brother Prince Harry after making damaging allegations against him and members of the royal family as a whole.

“Prince William and Princess Catherine’s zero-tolerance plan is already transforming the dynamic of the royal family,” Fordwich said.

“They are proactive behind the scenes to specifically tackle scandals, imposing a much better level of discipline, all aimed at protecting the future of the monarchy by excluding those who threaten its reputation in any way,” the royal expert added.
