William has previously stated that \u201cchange is on my agenda\u201d when he ascends to the throne, and the couple have been in lockstep with the King\u2019s decisions to distance the royal family from Andrew.<\/p>\n
The King also issued a brief statement a few hours after Andrew’s arrest on Thursday, stating \u201cthe law must take its course\u201d.<\/p>\n
Public opinion is all-important, with the authority of the monarchy ultimately founded on the support and goodwill of ordinary men and women.<\/p>\n
Broadcaster David Dimbleby, who recently presented the BBC documentary series What\u2019s the Monarchy For? said about some members of the royal family: \u201cWell they behave like people who are spoiled by entitlement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking on BBC Radio 4\u2019s World At One programme on Friday, he added: \u201cNot all of them, Princess Anne, a paragon of virtue, wonderful, it\u2019s not universal.<\/p>\n
“But they\u2019re lost in that world, nobody\u2019s saying \u2018come on pull yourselves together, do this, do that\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
The events of the past few days could see MPs and peers formally discussing the issues around Andrew\u2019s friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n
Labour peer Lord Foulkes told the World at One: \u201cI think there is now a clear expectation that there ought to be much more scrutiny.\u201d<\/p>\n
The politician said he has contacted MP Liam Byrne, chairman of the Business and Trade Commons Select Committee to \u201clook\u201d into Andrew\u2019s work as a trade envoy but conceded it may be difficult now the police are investigating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
