Prince Andrew ‘Feuding’ With Prince William Over ‘Nasty Remarks’ About Kate Middleton
Explosive claims are emerging about Prince Andrew’s alleged ‘nasty’ and ‘unkind’ comments about Kate Middleton.
They have reportedly caused a significant rift with his nephew, Prince William.
According to royal biographer Andrew Lownie, author of the controversial new book ‘Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,’ the Duke of York’s alleged disparaging remarks about the Princess of Wales have been a key factor in the breakdown of his relationship with the future king.
Lownie believes that Prince Andrew’s comments stemmed from jealousy over Middleton’s rising prominence within the Royal Family, particularly following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The biographer expressed his surprise at the alleged behavior, given her vital role in supporting the monarchy.
“I can’t see how anyone could make unkind comments about Middleton when she’s been the family’s saving grace,” Lownie told OK! Magazine. “It surprised me, but people do get jealous.”
Speaking to RadarOnline, Lownie elaborated: “I’d have thought Prince Andrew would respect William as future king,” rather than being ‘nasty about his wife.’
The royal biographer suggests that these alleged comments were a turning point for Prince William, who has grown increasingly frustrated with his uncle’s behavior over the years.
The Prince of Wales, who is known for his strong sense of duty, has reportedly found Andrew’s actions particularly challenging given the pressures facing the modern monarchy.
“William has a very strong sense of public duty and is doing his best to keep the show on the road,” Lownie explained. “He’s all about doing things the right way and has enough on his plate without having to think about his uncle.”
The author added: “Everyone is pulling together – Charles, Anne, Edward, William, and others – but the whole side has been let down by Prince Andrew.”
Sources close to the family have described the relationship between Prince William and Prince Andrew as ‘incredibly strained,’ per the Mirror.
The tension has reportedly been building for years, beginning when the disgraced Duke’s actions started to impact public perception of the Royal Family.
A senior royal source told the biographer: “The Duke seems to be in the habit of being a significant contributor of headaches for the family and many have run out of patience with him.”
The feud appears to have serious implications for Prince Andrew’s future within the Royal Family.
According to Lownie’s book, when Prince William becomes king, he plans to take decisive action against his uncle, including potentially evicting him from the Royal Lodge where he currently lives with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
A source quoted in the bombshell book revealed to the New York Post: “He [William] also loathes Sarah, Andrew’s ex-wife, and can’t wait for the day when his father throws them both out.
“If Charles doesn’t, I guarantee you the first thing William does when he eventually becomes king is to get them evicted.”
While the exact nature of Prince Andrew’s alleged comments about Middleton has not been publicly disclosed, royal biographer Andrew Lownie has indicated that the remarks were sufficiently ‘rude’ and ‘unkind’ to cause lasting damage to family relationships.
The author suggested that these comments, combined with Andrew’s other controversial actions, have convinced Prince William that his uncle represents a liability to the monarchy’s reputation.
“It’s unclear if the exact remarks are shared in the book,” noted one report, “but Lownie states the claims ‘surprised’ him, as he thought that Andrew would have more ‘respect’ for the future King than to be ‘nasty about his wife.’”
