[William holds a] a grudge against his disgraced uncle. Andrew\u2019s future within the royal family is beyond bleak, since Prince William is firmly opposed to any public rehabilitation with no foreseeable path back. He wants Andrew to vanish from public view.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-i9p093 emevuu60\">She added that &#8220;William\u2019s strong stance on &#8216;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. [William is] very in touch with the public. Every public opinion poll has Andrew at the bottom, reinforcing Prince William\u2019s stance. Once king, no doubt, Prince William will ensure Andrew is completely excluded from royal life, as well as all public appearances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Related Story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William is &#8220;furious&#8221; about being seated near Prince Andrew at the Duchess of Kent&#8217;s funeral.
