Andrew was accused of assault and of having close ties to
Jeffrey Epstein, which put an end to his royal career. William sees Andrew and his explosive scandal as a "disgrace" to the monarchy, the insider said.

Royal author
Andrew Lownie told
The Mirror that
Prince William disapproves of how Prince Andrew and his ex-wife,
Sarah Ferguson, can enjoy royal privileges without having any responsibilities.
"He has been at pains to distance himself from his uncle and not be photographed with him," Lownie told the outlet. "He believes his father has not dealt with him with sufficient firmness and that Andrew – and
Sarah Ferguson – have done much to undermine the good work of other members of the royal family."

Once
Prince William becomes king, he may adopt a stricter approach to non-working royals than his father,
King Charles III.
"William is very different from his father, and I think essentially, William is very aware of what he regards as mistakes his father has made, and he's not going to repeat them," Valentine Low told
GB News.
