WILLIAM THE ENFORCER! How Prince dealt with Andrew | Palace Confidential

from Palace Confidential

Prince William's admission that he was 'not in a calm state' while out with Catherine at the Baftas had everyone thinking the same thing: that the stress of the situation with the former Prince Andrew was causing problems in royal households.This came after an article by Richard Kay and Robert Jobson that suggested it was Prince William who had become the family's 'enforcer' - pushing his father to act tough on Andrew.Our panel - the Mail's Richard Eden and Robert Hardman - discuss this and many of the other 'tawdry' allegations about Andrew - including the claims that he expensed MASSAGES to the British government - that are emerging from the Epstein files and elsewhere. These have brought more calls for the King and Parliament to further censure the former duke by taking him out of the line of succession. Richard Eden thinks that they need to go further and remove Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie from it too.Meanwhile royal biographer Robert Hardman answers some of your constitutional questions and gives his reasons why the royals will survive this 'knife edge' moment.PLUS - Is Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's trip to Jordan a sign of an establishment 'plot' to let them back into the royal fold?- Why were William and Catherine in Wales?- What were the security reasons that Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh's trip was kept quiet?- Who were the couple in lycra who came to visit Queen Camilla this week?AND who are our TWO unsung royal heroes of the week?BUY Jo's outfit:Cardigan: https://bit.ly/4ca5HaqTrousers: https://bit.ly/46VJfygBUY Robert's NEW book, 'Elizabeth II: In Private.
