Prince Andrew has recently been attacked by senior members of the royal family. High-ranking royals are accusing the him of trying to force his way back into the spotlight by using Queen Elizabeth. With his sexual assault case settled out of court some weeks ago, Prince Charles and Prince William did not want him to ever play a role in the royal family. However, most senior royals were reportedly shocked to see him march the Monarch into Tuesday’s memorial service.
The Duke Of York Is Not Ready To Fade Into The Background
Speaking in a recent newspaper chat, a reliable Buckingham Palace source said, “[Andrew] was straight out the blocks in front of the cameras when the Duke of Edinburgh died, which was seen within the family as being completely inappropriate.
Senior Royals Accuse Prince Andrew Of Using The Queen To Force His Way Back Into The Spotlight
Now this situation has unfolded, a fair few hold the view that he is manipulating his position for his own gains. The Duke of York’s reputation precedes him and he’s made no secret that he’s not ready to fade away into the background, as much as everyone may want him to.”
Defending Prince Andrew’s controversial decision to walk in the Queen, a close source of him remarked, “In his mind the situation with the allegations and the court case is firmly closed. There is no case to answer, he settled for the good of the family and that’s that. He’s very much of the view that he is a young man and has plenty to offer. He’s not going to just sit at home and do nothing until the end of his days.”
The Duke of York has reportedly been there for the Queen at all times since her health depreciated. Despite being stripped of royal patronage, it is understood that Andrew is trying to force a return to royal duties.
The Duke of York lost his royal patronages and military titles in January this year. The Monarch decided to act after he was accused by one Virginia Giuffre of abusing her sexually while she was just a minor. Prince Andrew continues to emphatically renounce the accusations.
