A 'Civil’ Royal Feud: Prince Andrew 'Has Never Criticized King Charles' During Royal Lodge Rift and Remains 'Fiercely Loyal' to His Brother
Prince Andrew, 64, is reportedly proud that he has remained "loyal" to King Charles III, 75, during the "siege of Royal Lodge" rift now over two years old.
During the feud, which started shortly after the monarch came to the throne in September 2022, a friend of the disgraced Duke pointed out, "I have never heard him say anything negative about his brother or indeed any member of his family."
"It's just not something he would do," the friend added.
Although the "rotund prince" is said to be a "stickler for royal protocol" and "respects his sovereign," the Duke is "not giving in" and allowing His Majesty to remove him from a home he "feels is rightfully his."
This is despite conflicting reports stretching back decades that cast a not-so-professional image of the Jeffrey Epstein associate. Andrew has regularly been called "abrasive," "entitled" and more, but by far his biggest reveal in the "a------ department" came during a 2003 Buckingham Palace infiltration by a reporter disguised as a footman.
That year, Ryan Parry, a journalist for Daily Mirror, managed to gain access to the palace by securing a temporary job, despite not undergoing extensive background checks. He worked as a footman for two months, during which time he took photographs and gathered information about security protocols, private areas, and even Queen Elizabeth II's daily routine.
The reporter served up several juicy tidbits on Her Majesty's rumored favorite child but not before referring to Randy Andy as "pampered" and "rude."
Royal protocol dictates that senior royals always have a footman enter their bedroom each morning to draw the curtains. Parry disclosed how one such morning found an aide being curtly told by HRH to, "f--- off," as they let the daylight in.
Sarah Ferguson even once confirmed in her memoir My Story that her ex-husband, both during their marriage and after, regularly referred to her as "fat" and others have reported on his often "crude" remarks about women.
But many feel that the "shut-in" Duke is his own worst enemy.
"He’s become a pantomime figure and I understand why," a royal aide spilled. "He painted an easy target on his back and for the most part didn't even realize it, or if he did, he didn’t care. He comes from an era where he was the Queen’s son, for God’s sake."
They concluded, "He was lauded and applauded. People bowed and scraped for decades. That’s got to affect your ego and I suspect he probably thought he was bulletproof."
The Duke of York no longer represents the monarchy and has been "banished" to a life of "public exile."
