Prince William Told King Charles That Andrew Should Be ‘Banished’
Prince William told his father, King Charles, that former Prince Andrew must be “banished” after his train wreck interview with the BBC in 2019, royal writer Russell Myers revealed.

“William was absolutely adamant after seeing that BBC Newsnight interview along with his uncle and the disastrous explanations that he gave for being friends with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,” Myers told Us Weekly. “Refusing to apologize for his relationship and refusing to acknowledge the actual trauma of Epstein victims was an absolute red line for William.”
“He actually said to the late queen and his father [King Charles III], ‘He must be banished. Andrew must be rid of each the general public and the private royal family,'” the expert added.

The Prince Of Wales Would Have Taken Stricter ‘Measures’ Against His Uncle If He Were King
Myers, the writer of “William and Catherine: The Monarchy’s Recent Era: The Inside Story,” went further to share that the monarchy has been grappling with the bad rep Andrew has given it.
Nevertheless, William understands he really cannot do much to show things around.
Following the recent release of more Epstein files, Andrew raised eyebrows as he was pictured in several compromising positions.
After that, law enforcement arrested him on suspicion that he shared sensitive information with Epstein during his time as a part of the U.K. trade envoy.
He had previously been accused of sexual assault by Virginia Giuffre, which he denied, but later reached an out-of-court settlement together with her.

Considering this, the royal writer, Myers, noted that William would have done more to stop this if he were king, but understands the situation of things and is targeted on supporting his father, King Charles.
“The Andrew scandal has been a stain on the royal family,” Myers shared. “William [if he were king] would have taken certain measures to have Andrew completely out of the image. William understands that his father must take the lead on this, and he’s willing to support him in any way he can.”
