According to a
source,
Prince William "will be more ruthless" than his father, King Charles III, when it comes to making executive decisions.
_
Buckingham Palace confirmed
Prince William was highly involved in the decision to have
Prince Andrew relinquish his royal titles due to his past friendship with
Jeffrey Epstein. Per the
source, the Prince of Wales was dissatisfied with the outcome and thinks the "Andrew problem" will be "in his in-tray at some point."

When
Prince William takes over for King Charles III, Prince Andrew will reportedly be banned from all facets of The Firm. "He will be excluded from public and private royal events, including the coronation and banned from most state occasions," the source claimed.

Transforming the monarchy will be a main priority when
Prince William takes the throne. "Change is on my agenda. Change for good — and I embrace that. I enjoy that change," the former Duke of Cambridge said. "I don't fear it. That's the bit that excites me: the idea of being able to bring some change — not overly radical, but changes that I think need to happen."
