Humiliated and sidelined, Prince Andrew has reportedly spent millions renovating his Windsor residence, Royal Lodge, as he prepares for a life away from the royal spotlight — with Prince William expected to take a hard line by excluding the disgraced former Duke of York from future coronations, royal events, and even Christmas gatherings at Sandringham.
According to The Sunday Times, William was consulted on the decision that led to Andrew relinquishing his dukedom on Friday and has privately acknowledged that the “Andrew problem” will eventually land on his desk.
The heir to the throne intends to be “more ruthless”, intending to banish Andrew from royal life and no longer invite him to Christmas at Sandringham.
Additionally, William will exclude Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, from royal events. However, their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, will remain welcome at family and official gatherings. This development follows Andrew's decision on Friday to give up all his titles and honours amid a sex abuse case involving the notorious paedophile and financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The dramatic turn in the long-running controversy occurs just days before the publication of a memoir by Andrew's late alleged victim, Virginia Giuffre, to whom he paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case.
