Prince Andrew\u2019s alleged \u201cnasty\u201d comments<\/a> about Kate Middleton sparked his ongoing feud with his nephew, Prince William, according to a royal biographer.<\/p>\n

The disgraced Duke of York, 65, has been estranged from both Prince William and Harry for years \u2014 with recent reports suggesting that the Prince of Wales, 43, sees his uncle as a \u201cproblem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew made several \u201crude\u201d and \u201cunkind\u201d remarks about the Princess of Wales, according to prominent royal author Andrew Lownie, who details\u00a0various tidbits about the duke<\/a>\u00a0in his latest biography,\u00a0\u201cEntitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of\u00a0York<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lownie added that the alleged remarks came from a place of jealousy, as the duke was envious<\/a> that Catherine had become a key figure of the Firm following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n

The alleged comments had resulted in the breakdown of his relationship with the future king, Lownie claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t see how anyone could make unkind comments about Kate when she\u2019s been the family\u2019s saving grace,\u201d Lownie told\u00a0Radar Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt surprised me, but people do get jealous,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019d have thought Prince Andrew would respect William as future king though\u201d than to be \u201cnasty about his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not known exactly what was said about the future queen; however, Lownie suggested that the remarks prompted William to turn his back on his scandal-scarred uncle.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, he added that William had grown increasingly frustrated with his uncle over the past few years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWilliam has a very strong sense of public duty and is doing his best to keep the show on the road,\u201d Lownie said. \u201cHe\u2019s all about doing things the right way and has enough on his plate without having to think about his uncle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is pulling together \u2014 Charles, Anne, Edward, William and others \u2014 but the whole side has been let down by Prince Andrew,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Andrew\u2019s fate within the monarchy<\/a> had been reportedly decided by William already.<\/p>\n

Insiders claimed that the duke will not be returning<\/a>\u00a0as a working member of the royal family under William\u2019s reign, as he and Kate reportedly see Andrew as a \u201crisk\u201d and \u201cthreat\u201d to the Firm \u2014 given his previous\u00a0connections to registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Lownie spoke to sources that suggested William will be eager to evict Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, from the Royal Lodge, where the pair have lived since 2004.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [William] also loathes Sarah, Andrew\u2019s ex-wife, and can\u2019t wait for the day when his father throws them both out,\u201d a source is quoted in the book.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Charles doesn\u2019t, I guarantee you the \ufb01rst thing William does when he eventually becomes king is to get them evicted.\u201d<\/p>\n
