Who is responsible for the “Andrew Mountbatten Windsor” situation? By that I mean, who negotiated the deal, who said enough is enough, who finally acted, weeks and months late, to banish Andrew? The terseness of the message from King Charles yesterday suggested, to me, that Charles had actually been locked in negotiation alongside various courtiers. The timing also suggests that Charles was ultimately the one making decisions – the past month of dithering, half-measures and ostriching was classic Charles. The palace line is that Charles made the decision in consultation with his family, and he sought their support on the move as well:
So what was the final nail in the coffin for King Charles? PEOPLE understands that the King reached his decision with the support of members of the royal family, including Prince William. While Andrew continues to deny the accusations against him, it is clear that there have been serious lapses of judgment from the King’s perspective.
As for why the King didn’t act sooner, PEOPLE understands that Charles acted swiftly following recent developments that made it possible for his brother to relinquish his titles and honors in the most immediate and efficient way possible. While a longer-term resolution to the complex legal and constitutional issues surrounding Andrew’s status took time to finalize, sources say the necessity of further action was never in doubt. The King’s decision follows behind-the-scenes discussions, legal consultation and support from the wider royal family to bring about a resolution without imposing on Parliamentary time.
Yeah… this is not it. “We knew the whole time that we would need to punish Andrew even further!!” No you didn’t. Charles thought taking away the York titles would be it, and he seemed surprised that the public demanded even more. He misread the public mood for weeks, and he’s still misreading it now. But still, I feel just a little bit sorry for Charles at the moment. His unhinged heir is rushing to claim credit for Charles’s wheeling and dealing on Andrew. Keep in mind, William has been in the wind, on vacation somewhere for the past two weeks. But sure, this was ALL William. From Tom Sykes’s Royalist Substack, “William is King in All But Name After Masterminding Andrew’s Disgrace.”
Friends of Prince William have told The Royalist that the heir to the throne masterminded the operation to evict Andrew Mountbatten Windsor from Royal Lodge in the teeth of what he saw as his father’s weakness and vacillation on the matter. The palace statement and a supporting briefing document issued to the media yesterday sought to position Charles as the author of the decision to strip Andrew of all his titles and remove him from the palatial property. However, sources who know William scoffed at the suggestion.
One said, “Charles has been trying and failing to get Andrew out of Royal Lodge for the past three years. William did it in two weeks. William is King in all but name now.”
A friend of the Prince of Wales said that William stepped in after being left “dismayed” by the deal announced two weeks ago, which saw Andrew lose the use of his Duke of York title, but, crucially, keep Royal Lodge and continue as a Prince. The King’s team has now attempted to retroactively present that as an interim step, with yesterday’s briefing document stating that “the necessity of further action was never in doubt.”
However, it is quite clear that the King hoped at the time that the measures announced on October 17 would be enough. Briefing documents issued then made it crystal clear that Andrew’s tenancy agreement with the Crown Estate was “unaffected” and that he would stay a Prince, not very subtly seeming to blame Queen Elizabeth for this latter reality, saying his princely title was his by virtue of Letters Patent issued in 1917 by George V which were “updated” by Queen Elizabeth II in 2012. This apportioning of blame was later made explicit in a disgraceful smear in the Sunday Times. This followed extensive briefing to the media by the King’s team that there was no way to remove Andrew’s titles.
The friend of William’s told The Royalist: “This is Andrew, so the solution was always going to be a pay-off. This is his father’s mess, and William wanted it cleaned up on his father’s watch.”
The notion that it is his “father’s mess” refers to deep unhappiness within William’s circle about the way Charles tried not only to rehabilitate Andrew, but to co-opt William and Kate into the effort by forcing them to drive Andrew to church in Balmoral in the summer of 2023, having invited Andrew to join the family’s Christmas Day photocall at Sandringham in 2022.
Multiple things can be true at once: one, William was right that the only solution was money; two, William is right that the York title removal was always a half-assed punishment with no meaning… and yet William still rushed to take credit for that as well! Which makes me think that this is less about William “being king in all but name” right now and more about him screaming and throwing hissy fits behind the scenes, and that’s his version of “doing it in two weeks.” William has always believed that he can just make pronouncements and things will be done – “I’m bored with racism,” etc – so William is claiming ownership of this situation simply because he rage-shrieked (from his vacation) to his father: “Andrew must go, strip all of his titles!”

They are all inept, and no one should be rushing to take credit for this. It’s still too little too late for a man who belongs in jail. The royals should also be associated with enabling and protecting a man who trafficked children.
Spare me. Will couldn’t mastermind a properly tailored suit.
Exactly. Scooter is having conversations with himself and lets Sykes eavesdrop on his conversations with himself because he really is afraid to talk to his father or even his father’s courtiers. So he sounds off and leaks his sound offs, kind of like a toddler playing dress up. What a dork he is.
I’m in the UK and it’s very much being said this latest move is all down to Charles not William, and also that William was ‘concerned for the mental health of his uncle’ and perhaps not in agreement.
Emily Maitlis was on the James O’Brien show on LBC this morning saying this. Also she mentioned that Anne and Edward were uncertain because of course he’s their brother. Will see if the clip is available
Can’t see that it’s been clipped by LBC but the News Agents podcast that Emily co-hosts will cover it I expect. It’s normally out at 5pm UK time
Anne and Edward are undoubtedly concerned because for the first time the monarch has been given total power over the titles and prestige of the other members of the family.
Still can’t understand how all of those hypocrites and evil people over in BP, KP and other abodes, can be, all of a sudden, worried about the mental health of a rapist, sex trafficker, pervert, corrupt criminal and racist? Of course we all know how they’ve been covering up even for Andrew.
And they all cheered on when Harry was kicked out of his home, with his wife and their newborn son just because they dared to just speak out about the abuse they had been enduring by courtiers, staff and their own flesh and blood. That by doing so they “outed” those hypocrites is obviously, in the eyes of those hypocrites, their capital sin! To those evil people the crime is not the sinful behaviour itself, it is being caught and thus blow their cover of holiness. That is their reason for hating H&M this much: they showed how hypocritical, Harry’s family is, it’s a cesspool! They never even thought about the mental health of a new mum, new dad and their newborn son, being kicked out of their home, they still don’t. But now they’re worried about that good for nothing, pervert of Andrew? Can’t wait for Karma to come knocking on their doors. Charles and Saint Catherine already heard, and they, as well as the others don’t take heed.
Scooter only is greedy for royal lodge. The saint scooter who was friendly with Andrew even when the f b i wanted to talk to him. Saint scooter was away on vacation. Andrew still gets property his brother pays for. Scooter needs to stop the big talk and get to work
The whole kit and caboodle of them need to be chucked out of their many, many homes and the buildings razed to the ground which should be allocated for social housing.
It is ridiculous that in the 21st century any man and his do-nothing family can be paid by the taxpayers to swan around the country and the world and expect obeisance from the taxpayers who are forking out their hard earned cash to pay for their ridiculous medieval lifestyles.
I am born and bred in the uk and am heartily sick of the sycophantic drivel I see written in the media daily while my meagre pension is being taxed to pay for these useless people.
Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC has put my thoughts precisely in his program last evening. I would recommend that you watch him.
Yep, Charles is ensuring the wellbeing of his pervert brother. Ensures suitable private provisions for Andrew, acknowledging his status as the sovereign’s sibling despite his withdrawal from public duties.
And yet, for his own son, who has done nothing other than speak out about their mistreatment, not only will he do nothing but in fact kicked his son out, cut security and even financially, leaving him and his young family stranded in the midst of the Covid pandemic outbreak.
Charles is paying now in many ways! God have mercy… ( not sure I mean it).
Sure Willnot, you keep telling yourself this.
Yep….
This is so embarrassing, the bar for being kingly is so low….
I think the public should get the credit for Chuckles not dithering and actually doing something not vacation Peg. The public was outraged finally when the book came out and were very vocal. Peg huffs and puffs but that’s about it. Peg gets absolutely no credit for this!!
Agreed 100%. It never went away – like fly that won’t leave you to enjoy your food. And the BaRF finally gave in. Soothe the masses because they this dumpster fire burning until the BaRF gave in.
Awe look at wee Willy coming in to claim credit, like we didn’t know he would be screaming for credit from his holiday as soon as the announcement was made from Buckingham Palace. He certainly is just a despicable human being.
Scooter is lazy every possible way. He’s too lazy to take over.
Stripping titles is a slippery slope. Peers in the House of Lords are already vocally expressing displeasure that Charles has without consultation removed Andrew from the peerage role. Be careful what you wish for William. One day there may be consensus that you should abolish the monarchy itself…
Is the BRF an institution so enmeshed with British government and society that it must persist? Or is it a dysfunctional family where the head can actually bypass Parliament to make publicity motivated decisions?
To me, that’s what all these articles are asking, as they should.
It’s going to be interesting to see what William does when he really is King. When the buck stops with him and he hits a crisis and can’t wait to see how the wind blows before swooping in and claiming credit. He’s not going to be able to say in a few years, when I’ve grown into the role I’ll do this. He’s not going to be able to brief to reporters that , if he was in charge he would have done this or that friends of William tell us.
I always knew that this was his plan. To somehow make it seem like whatever was finally done was because he insisted on it. Which is why he’s been hiding out, where he can’t be asked direct questions by any of the public that would be bothered to show up at one of his events.
Good point. I’ll certainly be waiting eagerly for the day that William has no one to blame besides himself for his fckups (although I’m sure he’ll try).
The Royalist article is really going to piss Camilla off. I hope she decides to get revenge on William somehow, with the help of her buddies at the Fail.
Wow, not even 24 hours have passed and William is claiming credit! Now we’ll have to wait and see what Charles will do to yank his chain.
Charles and Camilla are ready to strike. Maybe a vacation photo will somehow appear or more low work numbers article about scooter.
Yup, he moved fast in terms of credit.
But this has always been his MO for Andrew – to take credit after the fact once he sees which way the wind blows.
I think this has been pretty classic Charles.
Totally Classic Charles!
And tbh, I know we’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead, etc., but the Queen deserves a lot of the blame for letting Andrew’s situation go on as long as it did. She was really the one who protected him when things got bad.
Andrew has become a kept man by his family. He needs to face justice
Willy didn’t do anything (except enjoying his vacations). Virginia did. Her book accelerated what Andrew managed to slowwalk for years. The harsh BP-statement sounds like Charles was finally done. Last week he alerted the rota that there would be something to see. Then it wasn’t, negotiations with no end, Andrew probably pushing (financial) boundaries further and further. Lastly the King was over it. Or Camilla asked sweetly whether he planned to man up one day…
Ah, so when tom Sykes writes about how people in the Palace are ignoring Charles and trying to get in with William he means himself.
Sykophant cited an ex-courtier assuring him that A had agreed to vacate RL before the official announcement was published. I can’t decide whether that ex-courtier is Simon Case or Jason.
Next saint keen stories will appear she urged her husband to do something and for the sake of their children. And She is Oh so noble
Sykophant can’t possibly believe Willy, from his vacation, had anything to do with this. Some reporting says Charles did consult with Parliament about the titles, and that wouldn’t have been vacationing Willy. But Sykes got himself kicked out of the rota (for exposing the palace-rota pact and talking about Charles’ death plans). Sykes still has his Eton friends who are close to Willy, and probably Jason Knauf too, so he has to print anything his remaining sources say?
Although this is still going to be unpopular—Andrew needs a Met Police and parliamentary investigation, not a multi-million pound payout.
William has had no issues appearing in public with Andrew. He had no issues naming his child after Louis Mountbatten. Appearing with Meghan was the hardest thing Kate has done – not associating with Andrew.
This is all performative on William’s part. And we’ll see that when he moves into royal lodge.
Your last sentence… oh, snap! Yes he will.
I expect he will be in RL before summer we just may not know about it, I imagine it just won’t be reported on and become another banned rota subject.
This INCENSED UK tax payer fully expects to pay for long overdue renovations and repairs to RL before Willy and madam deign to move in, after costing us a bomb over FL and its endless security measures!! The absolute crust of both this shameless couple who grab everything they want despite depriving others of rightful access to a park and nature rreserve centre!
@Lady Digby Just here to offer the friendly reminder that Americans LOVE British mythology. There is no need for an existing monarchy to entice us to spend massive tourist dollars touring properties like Royal Lodge. Obviously the Pedo Nonce Andrew history isn’t what we’re looking for, but sell us on the fairy tale of the historic British monarchy, however embellished, and we’ll pay admission and buy t-shirts (and, ahem, a baseball cap. We really love baseball caps!!) Do not keep Andy, Charles, and William around for our benefit.
‘William’ and ‘mastermind’ in the same sentence. Bahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one! Best laugh in ages.
Loving the concept of Dimbo being a mastermind of anything too.
It really is a farcical notion 😂
I guess we can look forward to weeks of pointed briefings from the king and his oldest son about who finally gets credit for doing too little, too late. If William is so decisive and “king in all but name”, one would expect him to have handled this long ago.
We all knew this summer that Virginia’s book was coming out and the Epstein files were starting to be released. They could have taken the titles and told Andrew this past summer that they were changing the locks on royal lodge and then gone on vacation. Instead, these morons waited until the book was released, excerpts were being talked about every day, and people *demanded* something be done. And they still dithered and prolonged the whole thing! Who would want to take credit for this obvious failure?
Not just Virginia’s book but Lownie’s too. They knew it was coming. It was a real one-two punch.
The US media is not crediting William for this decision on Andrew, nor it is saying he played a role.
What was interesting is that I watched “Newsnight” last night and everyone in the studio were praising KCIII for what he’s done. They even managed to get Virginia’s brother and an Epstein to lavish praise on KCIII. However, when I turned over to “Question Time” and the topic was discussed with audience members no-one was praising KCIII. With the exception of one woman every member of the audience were asking why has it taken so long? Which once again shows out of touch the media are with the thoughts and feelings of the people.
It’s worth pointing out that William’s name was not mentioned by anyone on either programme. William might think he’s king in all but name but, the truth is he’s the heir and no-one is giving him a second thought in this matter.
*For anyone outside the UK. “Newsnight” and “Question Time” are two of the BBC’s flagship political
I love that William’s name wasn’t even mentioned, lol. And this American is familiar with Newsnight ever since Andy’s trainwreck of an interview with Emily Maitlis!
The title removal is still half-assed and if I was William I wouldn’t want to take credit for this. But Charlotte Griffiths was dutifully giving credit to him on GB News last night. All William has done, since he wants to take credit for this, is taken the Duke of York title off the peerage roll which is now causing concern among members of the House of Lords. Andrew can’t use the title but for his title to taken from him legally the King still has to go to Parliament. This move is a compromise between the Palace and the Government because there’s no will on both sides to tie up Parliament with this matter.
There will be even less will if William tries to do it to Harry and Meghan, after all Harry has committed no crime bar sticking up for his mixed race wife. Frankly the government ought to be sorting out the mess that the Tories made over 14 years of government rather than this.
So, it’s yet another half-measure @amybee? I’ll admit I am confused about what thus King’s perogative actually is and how it’s different from the act of parliament that I always thought was needed to take away the titles. This sounds like cutting up a credit card but not officially closing the account.
‘like cutting up a credit card but not closing the account’ : exactly!! Give the FBI full access to extradite him and THEN I will believe that they are on the side of justice for the victims of paedophiles.
Until that is done- NOPE, nothing has changed in this rotten state.
He really is dense. So when this all falls apart, and it will, Willy will be the one left holding the bag while Camilla unpacks her bags in Royal Lodge. He is so easily duped. Of course, she doesn’t want to be seen in flagrante delicto, but her fingerprints are all over this.
“You help me get Andrew out of Royal Lodge, and I’ll help you banish your brother forever”, hence sending her hench-woman to the Philippines. Unfortunately for William, the half-sister accidentally revealed their plans.
I actually think the govt is the mastermind behind it. They made it clear that they’d do whatever Charles asked then to do. They knew they looked really bad. I think they talked Charles into asking them to do it. That was parliament isn’t “tied up” with debates and such. It’s also wild how easy it is. The govt will do whatever the monarch asks of it. Do you think that’s only Andrew’s case or do you think that’s going to be with everything?
The man who has been on vacation for the past 2 weeks is responsible. Please.
@Jais, right? Lmao.
Well, first of all, Andrew himself masterminded his own disgrace. After that, it was a succession of pressures from the public and the press as they reacted to the RF’s feeble solutions. Kind of like a dam broke, especially with Andrew Lownie being interviewed everywhere about his book.
Let William take the credit. It’s not about him anyway. I’ll even go further and give props to Charles, Camilla, Catherine and the royal teddy bear fluffer if it means that much to them.
After Will becomes King, what will happen, do you think he will kick Andrew out of his new home? Right now he’s still under Charles’ protection. He’s just moving from a very grand home with servants to a less grand home with servants.
Andrew would be very thick indeed not to get a cast iron settlement to last him the rest of his life. We ALL know grabber Will wants EVEYTHING for himself and as KC3 is very ill he could inherit very soon. The rest of the RF need to be prepared for Hurricane Will farting angrily about taking everything off them that is NOT nailed down!
The only thing Paedro should get is a jail cell for the rest of his life.
I don’t believe this for a minute. Of course PW wants to take credit, that’s what he does. He is not a thinker, not a worker, not an influencer or a wise counsel – he’s a lazy brainless boorish waste of space. And isn’t he on holiday (again!) anyway??
Sometimes keeping one’s mouth shut is the best course of action, right now many are hurting and retaliation could come from any quarter regardless that you may think you are untouchable and above the law. Andrew may have promised not to write a book but there are other ways to get stuff out
This is a lesson that William has apparently never learned. He seems constitutionally incapable of keeping his mouth shut (except when he’s on vacation, which, admittedly, is most of the time).
According to at least 1 royal expert the Palace called up the media to find out if they had more to reveal about Andrew and at least 1 will be releasing an expose on Andrew
Andrew Lownie is already rewriting his book to include things he removed under threat and duress for the paperback version. The release date for Norman Baker’s new book has been pushed back several times while all this news has continued.
I pre-ordered Baker’s book and was notified yesterday that the release date has indeed been pushed back lol.
ALLLLLL of this is just Chuckles not wanting further investigation into the royal family finances. People are looking at Eddie’s lease, all the money from the duchys…and they want answers Chuckles does not want to give.
What galls me most is that this twit AMW will still have all his cars, his horses, and STAFF. Take his staff! He can arrange his own damn teddy bears (who doesn’t want video of them being loaded up??).
It is crazy that they want to attribute kingly qualities to William when, at most, he poorly navigated a family situation. I see no evidence of William collaborating with authorities to put Andrew in jail or to negotiate a deal to put more abusers in jail.
They shuffled homes…All hail Prince Pegs!
If “the necessity of further action was never in doubt” someone explain to me what was going on over at Frogmore Cottage? Why were construction crews seen around “for weeks?”
Imagine this whole time the meeting between Harry and Charles was about a new lease on Frogmore. 😆
It makes zero sense for Harry to move his family back to England.
@ohn I completely agree. I never meant that as a permanent home. I meant it as in the same way the Sussexes planned to use it when they moved from England. A landing pad when they are in town
@Steph, Will would take it back when he becomes the king. Why would they even bother moving there even as a UK base? It was the tabloid’s words that they saw people there. They were probably lying if there are no pics.
@sevenblue he would definitely try to take it back. I still think it would be funny.
This could be true. William definitely wanted control over Royal Lodge and l believe that within two years there will be evidence of contact between the two brothers.
William’s “circle”in their incessant leaking has not once shown any objection to what Andrew did or acknowledged what he did or is accused of doing and has only complained about the impact having him around has on William’s popularity.
🎯. At least Charles’ statement said something about his sympathies being with the victims. Too little too late, but still.
None of the messaging from William and Kate (William is a big man; Andrew gives Kate the ick) suggests anything more than that they want the embarrassment to go away because they don’t want any investigation into their own finances, also maybe they still want Royal Lodge eventually.
I mean, Sykes has, what, 200 subscribers? So when Willy’s friends–who are his remaining sources after he was kicked out of the rota–tell him to say something, he really has little to lose by publishing it.
Is everyone disturbed by how these ghouls in the media are kicking an old, sick man to the curb so they can kneel in obeisance to a bald, ugly, vicious, stupid, jealous, worthless mofo like the Prince of Pegging?
I have no love for Charles, but I imagine he sees this going on all the time and is miserable. What a way to spend your final days. But I suppose karma gets everyone in the end.
It serves Charles right for letting peggs throw tantrums about Harry and Meghan and letting Peggs oust them.
It must be excruciating for Chuckles to have to think that this mess is what his reign will be remembered for.
You are not the only one.
Bullshit. He is no king now and will be no king when he is king. Wonder how Dadio feels about Will being king now? I hope he throws pens at Will in a fit of temper.
But William, that supposedly iron-fisted current HR director, is a very indifferently gifted individual who will probably prove to be overpromoted in the role of king. I wonder who or what he’ll cancel, under his strange, self-styled guise as protector of the mental health of the nation. I guess we’ll find out.
The above paragraph from today’s Guardian article by Marina Hyde on Chuck ‘s defenestration of his brother acknowledges Will ‘s glaring inadequacies that will see him struggle as King. Some of us can see quite clearly that Will won’t cut it as King: no main character energy, moth-eaten, dim, spiteful, lazy, selfish, grasping and unpleasant.
So, we were all supposed to be mad at Harry for briefly mentioning his father’s health, but it’s OK for William’s friends to declare that he’s the king “in all but name now”?
Go on, Camz … put Willy in his place. You know you want to.
This is hilarious. William and Kate were forced “to drive Andrew to church in Balmoral in the summer of 2023.”
Scooter King has very serious issues. He clearly disdains his own father and refuses to show Charles a son’s respect. But perhaps Charles brought this on himself. He is a shit father who raised a shit son. But Scooter is deeply in need of therapy. He is a train wreck, but he doesn’t seem to have a clue how badly he comes across.
I would think that he suffers some sort of deficiencies.
So who made Willy and buttons walk to church with randy on Easter? No one says everyone. Yup , that’s what I thought. Willy is full of s. He and his button maiden had no problem then or now with uncle Randy. They just trying to get credit and convince us with seeing eyes that we didn’t see what we all saw.
