King Charles, William 'furious' over Andrew's latest move

Power struggles within the British Royal Family are intensifying behind the scenes. Sources within the Palace reveal the King Charles and the Prince of Wales have been issued blunt warnings about the potential long-term strategy of a “furious” Prince Andrew. It is said King Charles and the heir, William, have both been briefed on plans which aim to cement the Duke of York’s permanent banishment from the inner circles of the Firm – and his coveted family home.

In William’s eyes nothing less than isolation for the Duke of York from any resemblance of royal life whatsoever seems sufficient.” Andrew ‘preparing for war’ in Royal Lodge showdown It is said that his warnings to the King and the future King centre on the fact he doesn’t want to go away quietly.
