He will not entertain anyone toxic to the brand. Andrew will not be part of the streamlined monarchy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chard noted while Charles is also &#8220;fed up&#8221; with Andrew, he has &#8220;a softer approach to his brother as he is family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Prince William, however, has never been a fan of his uncle. He has no time for him,&#8221; Chard revealed. &#8220;Allegedly, he was also disappointed that Andrew did not welcome his wife [<a href=\"https:\/\/okmagazine.com\/t\/kate-middleton-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kate Middleton<\/a>] into the family with open arms all those years ago.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As OK! reported, Andrew was stripped of his royal titles after it was revealed that he was friendly with late s&#8211; offender <a href=\"https:\/\/okmagazine.com\/t\/jeffrey-epstein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>. He was also accused of sexually assaulting a woman named <a href=\"https:\/\/okmagazine.com\/t\/virginia-giuffre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virginia Giuffre<\/a>, who claimed she was trafficked by Epstein and forced to sleep with Andrew when she was just 17.<\/p>\n<p>Though there&#8217;s a photo of Giuffre and Andrew together, he denied ever having <a href=\"https:\/\/okmagazine.com\/p\/virgina-giuffre-suicide-secret-diary-prince-andrew-jeffrey-epstein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a sexual relationship with her<\/a>.
