Prince Andrew.

Prince William's wish to ban the Duke of York from royal life due to his ties to
Jeffrey Epstein despite Charles trying to keep Andrew in the fold.

After reports claimed King Charles III and Prince William were at odds over how to handle Prince Andrew, a
source told royal journalist
Tom Sykes the second son of
Queen Elizabeth II will "never be photographed alongside Prince William again."
"The King finally bowed to his son's demands over his disastrous attempts to rehabilitate his corrupt brother Prince Andrew and agreed to ban Prince Andrew from all further public-facing family events," the writer alleged in a post shared to The Royalist
Substack.

The decision to remove Prince Andrew from royal life signaled a shift in power from King Charles III to Prince William.
"The sinews of the monarchy, who holds power, who makes decisions, who defines the institution's survival strategy. The answer is now clear. William," Tom Sykes
wrote. "Make no mistake. This is an utter humiliation for Charles, who expended significant political capital, against the advice of his son and his key aide Sir
Clive Alderton, to invite Andrew to join the family at Christmas 2022."

When Prince William takes the throne, a separate
insider claimed Prince Andrew and his ex-wife,
Sarah Ferguson, will not have roles in his monarchy.
"William feels even more strongly than the King that Andrew and Fergie are an embarrassment and will be urging his father to act," they claimed after a sympathetic
email the Duchess of York sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 was made public. "The optics of that pair of chancers guffawing away at events look terrible. But the King doesn't want to cut ties with his brother, former sister-in-law and that side of the family."
