Prince William “hates” his uncle Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and will ensure that he is “not seen again” once he becomes King, according to a royal expert. Speaking on the Pierce vs Maguire Podcast, journalist Andrew Pierce was asked if the current controversy surrounding the former prince is the biggest crisis for the monarchy since the abdication.
He said: “For sure. There’s no doubt about it. I think it is doing them huge damage and I think the King speaking out, Prince William speaking out… Prince William, by the way, hates Prince Andrew. There is no other way to put it.
“He hates him, he can’t stand him and if he becomes King, sooner rather than later he will be brutal.
“We will never see Andrew again.”
The former prince was held in custody on Thursday after he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office while acting as the UK’s trade envoy.
It is understood the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) are yet to provide any “early investigative advice” to the force.
On Friday, a helicopter circled Royal Lodge in Windsor with unmarked vans, believed to be police vehicles, entering the grounds throughout the morning.
A police presence remained at the Sandringham Estate but searches of Andrew’s Norfolk home concluded on Thursday.
The arrest of the King’s younger brother made headlines across the world, including a picture of him looking drained and exhausted, slouched in the back of a vehicle leaving Aylsham police station.
US President Donald Trump described the news as “very sad” and “so bad for the royal family”.
Police have been reviewing allegations against Andrew after emails released by the US Department of Justice appeared to show his correspondence in a tranche of what have become known as the Epstein files.
Andrew has repeatedly and vehemently denied any wrongdoing over his Epstein links and being included in the files does not indicate wrongdoing.
He has not publicly commented on his arrest. It is understood that neither the King nor Buckingham Palace had been informed before the arrest on Thursday morning.
