Ex-Prince Andrew<\/a>, who now goes by the name Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is reportedly pointing fingers at Prince William<\/a>‘s wife Kate Middleton<\/a> following his dramatic fall from royal life.<\/p>\n According to a palace insider, the disgraced royal has become increasingly focused on the Princess of Wales ever since he was stripped of his title and pushed out of Royal Lodge<\/a>.<\/p>\n The insider said Andrew has \u201cbecome completely fixated\u201d on Kate after being exiled from the royal family, insisting she played a major role behind the scenes.<\/p>\n \u201cHe keeps going on about how she\u2019s a \u2018silent assassin\u2019 who\u2019s been quietly pulling the strings and whipping William into a frenzy about him<\/a>,\u201d the source revealed. \u201cHe\u2019s absolutely certain that major decisions about his future have been run past her and William, but instead of blaming William for getting him forced out he\u2019s turned his wrath on Kate.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the insider, Andrew believes his nephew is no longer acting on his own.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has this warped belief that William is being controlled by her, that she\u2019s whispering in his ear and turning him against his own blood. He\u2019s saying she\u2019s poisoned the well against him,\u201d the source continued.<\/p>\n What\u2019s especially painful for Andrew, the insider explained, is that he thought he was on \u201cgood terms\u201d with Kate before his title was officially stripped in October 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cShe was always very polite and warm, he believed she genuinely liked him,\u201d the source said. \u201cNow she won\u2019t give him the time of day and he\u2019s seeing it as her deliberately freezing him out and using her influence to make sure he stays sidelined.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s now lashing out and telling anyone who will listen that she\u2019s the reason he\u2019s been booted from his own family. He\u2019s vowing to get back at her, which is not going to go down well with William when he finds out,\u201d the insider added.<\/p>\n The source said Andrew\u2019s resentment has only deepened over time.<\/p>\n \u201cAndrew is absolutely seething and looking for someone to blame, and in his mind Kate has become the perfect villain<\/a>,\u201d the insider shared. \u201cHe\u2019s convinced himself she\u2019s far more powerful than she lets on, that she\u2019s quietly steering decisions behind the scenes while maintaining this serene public image. He\u2019s a very bitter man.\u201d<\/p>\n Still declining to take responsibility, Andrew allegedly continues to talk smack about Kate within palace circles.<\/p>\n \u201cTrue to form, Andrew refuses to accept that his own actions landed him where he is now. Instead, he\u2019s badmouthing Kate and, while there are still a few people within the palace that speak to him, he\u2019s been venting to them and warning them not to be fooled by her \u2018nice girl\u2019 act. He resents that Kate has emerged as this central, respected figure while he\u2019s been pushed into total irrelevance,\u201d the source said. \u201cIn his mind, she\u2019s stolen the authority and standing he believes should have remained with him as the Queen\u2019s son<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n They added, \u201cInstead of having a shred of self-awareness he\u2019s turned it into this big sob story whereas usual he\u2019s the big victim.\u201d<\/p>\n However, the insider made it clear Kate was not responsible for Andrew\u2019s removal.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom Kate\u2019s side, she\u2019s simply not engaging with Andrew. She\u2019s by no means on some campaign against him but naturally she\u2019s disgusted by his behaviour<\/a> and agrees with the King\u2019s decision<\/a>,\u201d the source explained, noting King Charles<\/a> made the call following Andrew\u2019s ties to Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> and Virginia Giuffre<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s very awkward for her so she\u2019s avoiding Andrew and saying she\u2019s glad he\u2019s out of her hair. Andrew is so narcissistic he can\u2019t understand why she would want to distance herself,\u201d the insider continued.<\/p>\n Heated World UK<\/em><\/a> talked to the insider.<\/p>\n Read more at OK!<\/a><\/p>\n Get OK!’s biggest scoops and scandals delivered right to your inbox.
