King Charles’s younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, tried to get Charles and Camilla’s wedding “cancelled” as documented in a royal book, titled ‘Camilla: From Outcast To Queen Consort’ by Angela Levin. According to the royal author, Camilla felt that Andrew “could have done more” to support her and Charles as a couple at a time when public opinion was strongly against their relationship, following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.
According to the Daily Mail, the book states claims that “Andrew went as far as trying to get the late Queen Elizabeth II to call off the couple’s wedding in 2005.” Charles and Camilla wed in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall on 9 April 2005.
A source claimed: “His behaviour became very, very negative and extremely unpleasant on not getting his way.” Adding that Andrew allegedly felt Camilla was “insufficiently aristocratic and that she was not to be trusted”.
The source told the outlet he was “quite poisonous, mean, unhelpful and very nasty about Camilla”, they added, and “remained so hostile about Camilla’s acceptance that it’s doubtful it has ever been forgiven”.
Sources also told the Daily Mail that the now Queen thought Andrew did not speak up for her and Charles when they were battling to get royal acceptance for their relationship after Diana’s death. One shared: “I would go so far as to say he was deeply unhelpful when support would have meant a huge amount to her and the Prince.”
While Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, continued to be involved in the friendship with convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, as revealed in the files. Queen Camilla has been busy with her work to bring attention to sexual violence faced by women, which could be seen as a thinly veiled snub.
It is understood Andrew was arrested in relation to allegations he passed sensitive information to convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein while acting as a trade envoy for the British government. Being mentioned in the Epstein files does not suggest any wrongdoing, and Andrew has denied allegations made against him.
The Queen gave a powerful speech in defence of the victims and survivors of violence and abuse, saying: “Shame must change sides.”
Camilla cited data showing a woman is murdered by a man every three days in the UK, with 62 per cent of these women killed by partners or ex-partners, and 70 per cent in their own home.
