According to former royal photographer
Ian Pelham Turner, King Charles III might have stripped Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of his titles to please
Prince William. In exchange, the Prince of Wales allegedly agreed to support Prince Harry rejoining the royal fold. "All these negotiations, perhaps — for example, with Harry — have been accelerated," the photographer told
Daily Express U.S. "I think William feels very aggrieved at Harry. So Charles has done a trade-off."

Despite being estranged from the majority of the royal family, Prince Harry met with King Charles III, who is currently battling cancer, during a recent trip to England. "He is bound to have very deep regrets. The state of King Charles III's health is bound to add to them," royal expert
Richard Fitzwilliams told
Daily Express.

Prince Harry's reunion with King Charles III did little to mend his rift with
Prince William. "Their relationship is at an all-time low," a source told
Vanity Fair. "It's as if something has pushed William even further away from the prospect of a reconciliation. He is adamant that he wants nothing to do with his brother. He is more upset with him than ever."

As
Prince William readies to take over for King Charles III, the Prince of Wales was adamant about holding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor accountable for his alleged bad behavior and ties to
Jeffrey Epstein. "He has been at pains to distance himself from his uncle and not be photographed with him," royal author
Andrew Lownie told
The Mirror before the former Duke of York lost his titles.

Although King Charles III eventually gave in, it took pressure from
Prince William for the monarch to ultimately banish Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from The Firm. "The king finally bowed to his son's demands over his disastrous attempts to rehabilitate his corrupt brother [the former] Prince Andrew and agreed to ban [him] from all further public-facing family events," royal journalist
Tom Sykes wrote on his
The Royalist Substack.
