Things have not been going well for the former prince Andrew<\/a>. And some would argue it\u2019s been a long time coming. Years after the BBC interview where he defended his connections with Epstein<\/a>, Andrew has now been stripped of his titles and forced to vacate his lavish home at Royal Lodge. Not just that, he was recently arrested for suspicion of misconduct in public office, and the investigation has expanded to include sex crimes.<\/p>\n Andrew has mostly stayed out of the public eye in the last few months, but reportedly, he\u2019s got a plan. And allegedly, he\u2019s anything but pleased about how he\u2019s been pushed aside.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Related:\u00a0<\/strong>Here\u2019s what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth<\/a><\/p>\n The Mirror<\/em><\/a> is reporting that Andrew is now relying on his daughters to stay relevant, clinging to the fact that King Charles is known to be fond of them. Recent reports on royal residences even revealed that the two hold royal homes, and are not even paying rent for them. Instead, King Charles is picking up the bill.<\/p>\n Both Beatrice and Eugenie attended the wedding of cousin Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling, and did come through the back door. Instead, they and their respective husbands attended the wedding as if nothing had ever happened, without any attempt to avoid photographers.<\/p>\n A recent report from the Mail<\/a><\/em> claimed that Andrew was the mastermind behind the \u201cgesture of defiance\u201d and that he urged them to go and \u201chold their heads high.\u201d<\/p>\n Royal historian Andrew Lownie told the Mirror that Andrew would have \u201cabsolutely\u201d encouraged them, adding: \u201cHe doesn\u2019t think they\u2019ve done anything wrong\u201d. Lownie added that Andrew would have wanted his daughters to show that they are \u201cfighters\u201d and \u201cprincesses of blood\u201d who \u201cshould be treated properly\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Eugenie and Beatrice feel the same,\u201d Lownie added. \u201cThey just take it as natural that they should be able to support Saudi businesses and be paid to attend events. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve done all their lives, and they don\u2019t see why that should change.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re not seeming too affected by this,\u201d he added. \u201cI think most people would go quietly under a stone and let the whole kind of crisis pass when they just seem to be embracing it.\u201d<\/p>\n And the historian believes Andrew might be looking for revenge. \u201cIt would certainly fit with his character. I think he feels that he\u2019s been thrown to the wolves and in defence of his mother who he also thinks has been thrown under the bus.<\/p>\n \u201cSo there\u2019s possibly danger. He\u2019s always been very loyal to the institution, but he didn\u2019t like Camilla<\/a>. He was rude about Kate<\/a>. Anyone who\u2019s rumbled him, he doesn\u2019t like. I think it\u2019s only two allies at the moment are Edward and Anne.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"WINDSOR,](\"https:\/\/stylecaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sarah-ferguson-william-beatrice-eugenie.jpg?w=300&h=168&crop=1\")
