Prince Charles and Princess Anne are allegedly sick and tired of their younger brother, Prince Andrew.
In its July 18 issue, Woman’s Day claimed that Prince Charles and Princess Anne have only gotten closer ever since their dad, Prince Philip passed away.
Prior to this, the royal siblings used to also butt heads. But they now have a different target and it’s none other than the Duke of York.
A source claimed that Prince Charles and Princess Anne are especially united when it comes to their disgraced brother.
The royal siblings are allegedly still reeling over the fact that Prince Andrew sat down for an interview with Newsnight three years ago.
“Charles and Anne were vociferously against him doing an interview in the first place,” the source said.
Prince Charles and Princess Anne are also fuming over the possibility of Prince Andrew returning to the royal family. He stepped down from his royal duties years ago after Virginia Roberts Giuffre accused him of sexual abuse.
“There’s a feeling at the palace that they must keep Andrew happy to avoid him doing a Harry and sitting down with Oprah or God forbid writing a tell-all book. It’s as though Prince Andrew expects to carry on as usual and it’s incredibly frustrating for Charles and Anne, who are trying to focus on the future of the royal family upon the queen’s inevitable departure from this world,” the source said.
Additionally, Prince Charles and Princess Anne allegedly want the queen to make it clear to Prince Andrew that he can no longer make public appearances or return to his royal duties.
“Everyone seems to be turning a blind eye to his boldness, but it has to be addressed and Charles and Anne are united in making sure there are no more red faces when it comes to Andrew. They only want him stopped to ensure no further damage to the queen’s legacy,” the source said.
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. Prince Andrew has no plans to return to the royal fold. And even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t be permitted to do so. This means that Prince Charles and Princess Anne have nothing to worry about.
It’s not also true that Prince Charles and Princess Anne are banding together to take down the Duke of York.
