King Charles has officially stripped his brother, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, of all his Royal titles this week and evicted him from his Royal Lodge residence.
The 76-year-old monarch reportedly wants Andrew completely removed from the Royal circle, as the former prince has been a distraction to the monarchy’s work.
However, while King Charles may not have hesitated in making such a decisive move, one Royal expert believes it’s something the late Queen Elizabeth II couldn’t have done due to her close relationship with Andrew, who was allegedly her “favorite child”.
In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, Royal commentator Afua Hagan stated that King Charles did the “right thing” by formally removing Andrew’s titles.
She also expressed it’s a “shame” that the late Queen didn’t take this action during her reign when scandals surrounding Andrew and his past friendship with the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein first surfaced.
Hagan continued: “I don’t believe the late Queen would have made such a move; I think she had the opportunity to do so but didn’t, which is truly regrettable.”
Andrew has been out of the public eye since the surprising announcement from Buckingham Palace last Thursday.
He is reportedly maintaining a low profile at his Royal Lodge residence, which he is expected to vacate in the coming months.
Instead, he will be relocating to a property on the King’s private Sandringham estate.
