Prince William was the 'driving force' behind his uncle Prince Andrew's royal downfall, according to expert Omid Scobie, despite reports at the time claiming it was a joint decision with King Charles.
A royal book has shed light on Prince William 's role in the downfall of Prince Andrew, contradicting earlier reports that the decision to strip the Duke of York of his patronages was a collective effort.
Andrew was accused by Virginia Giuffre - a victim of Jeffrey Epstein - of sexually assaulting her three times: once in London, at convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell's home, once in New York, and once on Epstein's private island Little St. James, the Mirror reports. The author notes: "William was keenly aware that the horrific allegations, the fallout from the embarrassing interview, and now the prospect of an out-of-court settlement involving money from the family's private wealth were all damaging the monarchy's reputation."
Consequently, the future King felt compelled to intervene. Despite the late Queen Elizabeth II's reported fondness for Prince Andrew, her alleged favourite son, she ultimately became "the official face of Andrew's reckoning" and delivered the decisive blow.
