Prince William, as heir to the throne, is known to be a stickler for royal decorum for the future and reputation of the monarchy. He takes his royal duties seriously and is often seen despising those who overstep. The Prince, as such, was very ‘adamant’ about his uncle, Prince Andrew<\/a>, wearing his Garter robes for King Charles’ coronation, and threw his father an ultimatum.<\/p>\n

Andrew stepped down from his royal duties and patronages in 2022, after the public fallout from his association with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. His absence from the Order of the Garter procession at Windsor Castle on Monday, June 16, however, goes back to William having once thrown a fit after his father’s 2023 coronation, when Charles made an exception for his younger brother and allowed him to wear Garter regalia. According to the Daily Mail<\/a>, William was and remains firmly against his uncle wearing the traditional Garter robes, an honor he himself wears. As per a senior royal source, he was particularly \u2018incensed\u2019 when Charles defended his little brother\u2019s right to retain his insignia. Charles reportedly cited a historical incident, when the Duke of Windsor, Edward VIII, was allowed to keep his honors after resigning from the throne in 1936.<\/p>\n

Despite the King\u2019s efforts and explanation, William was \u2018unconvinced\u2019 as he was concerned about the public\u2019s trust in the monarchy. William, as per the source, allegedly also issued an ‘ultimatum’ that his uncle\u2019s inclusion at royal public events would result in him withdrawing from the said ceremony. The insider told the Evening Standard<\/a>, \u201cThe Duke of Cambridge was adamant. If York insisted on taking part publicly, he would withdraw.\u201d<\/p>\n

As such, Andrew did not participate in the procession of Garter Knights on Monday. According to the Scottish Daily Express<\/a>,\u00a0William and Andrew do not share an amicable relationship. Royal expert Hilary Fordwich once told Fox News Digital<\/a> how the nephew-uncle duo have long had a \u2018strained and distant relationship.\u2019 Explaining how this may affect Andrew when William is King, she said, \u201cAndrew\u2019s future within the royal family is beyond bleak, since Prince William is firmly opposed to any public rehabilitation with no foreseeable path back.\u201d The Prince allegedly wishes \u201cfor Andrew to vanish from public view.\u201d Fordwich added, \u201cWilliam\u2019s strong stance on ‘the Andrew problem\u2019 is consistent, unwavering, and his influence has been decisive in ensuring Andrew remains sidelined…He is driven by his desire\u2026 to protect the monarchy\u2019s reputation, doing all he can to safeguard its future.\u201d Fordwich explained that this comes as Andrew is not a popular figure among the public. She asserted, \u201cOnce King, no doubt, Prince William will ensure Andrew is completely excluded from royal life, as well as all public appearances.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William, as heir to the throne, is known to be a stickler for royal decorum for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205970,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,77,7716,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-205969","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-heirs-spares","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114728959144036118","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
