Kate "refused to speak to Andrew at family gatherings" as William prepares to cut him out for good
Princess Kate avoided speaking to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at gatherings, even before the disgraced royal was arrested, according to an insider.
American podcast host Maureen Callahan stated that the former Duke of York “will be fully removed” by the time Prince William ascends the throne.
She learned from Andrew’s biographer Andrew Lownie that the Prince and Princess of Wales had been avoiding King Charles’s younger brother for “quite a long time.”
The former prince, Andrew, was arrested on his 66th birthday in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office while at home in Sandringham and was later released.
He was questioned on suspicion of sharing sensitive information with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a special representative for trade and investment between 2001 and 2011.
Detectives are now investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for potential sexual offences after a woman alleged that convicted paedophile Epstein sent her to the former prince’s residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor in 2010.
Andrew has been out of the public eye since allegations about his friendship with Epstein intensified, culminating in his disastrous interview with Emily Maitlis in 2019.
He has denied allegations by Epstein’s victim Virginia Giuffre that he slept with her three times, including once in an orgy on the disgraced financier’s private island.
However, while Andrew continues to deny wrongdoing, he has been stripped of all titles and patronages, and has moved out of his Royal Lodge into the smaller Wood Farm.
Catherine, the Princess of Wales, refused to speak to her uncle-in-law long before all this unfolded, according to Ms. Callahan.
She told The Royals Uncensored podcast: “Andrew Lownie said that for quite a long time before the Andrew story exploded, Catherine would refuse to speak with him at family gatherings; William wanted nothing to do with him.
“When there is a King William, I think Andrew will be fully removed.”
Andrew reportedly now lives a simple life, alone, with his days mostly consisting of watching television and playing computer games.
