Step by step, the British royal family is distancing itself more and more from Prince Andrew, who will probably have to endure more humiliation.
London – Thanks to his abuse scandal and the looming civil lawsuit, Prince Andrew (61), formerly the Queen’s (95), has become the Windsors’ black sheep. Just a few days ago, the queen withdrew all military titles and patronage from her son, as reported by 24royal.de*, the next public insult should now follow.
Prince Andrew “in tears”: Is the next humiliation now imminent?
The withdrawal of the title, which was made public shortly after the abuse lawsuit against Prince Andrew was approved*, apparently hit the 61-year-old hard. As a palace source confided to the Mirror, the prince was in tears when he received the news. The decision will not have been easy for the Queen, but some of her employees seem to welcome her momentous decision. The newspaper “Daily Mail” claims to have learned that Buckingham Palace* employees would even like to release Andrew from another important role.
The staff of Queen Elizabeth II.* allegedly want the renegade Duke of York to lose his role as “Counselor of State”. Apparently, his nephew Prince Harry* (37), who also had to give up his military titles and patronage as part of his departure from the royal family, had the same fate. The Council of State, which takes over the duties of the monarch in the event of illness, for example, is made up of four adult members of the Royal Family* and is based on the succession to the throne. In addition to Prince Andrew and Prince Harry, Prince Charles* (73) and Prince William* (39) currently have the role of “Counselor of State”.
Prince Andrew – “It could endanger the monarchy”
A new composition of the Council of State should be at the top of the royal family’s to-do list so that further damage can be averted from the British crown. “It’s a real issue that the Palace wants to address. Can you imagine the Duke of York* having to sign official documents, for example, because the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge were both abroad and the Queen fell ill? […] It could endanger the monarchy,” an insider told the Daily Mail. *24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
