Prince William Keeps Distance from Uncle Prince Andrew Over Unkind Comments
Prince William reportedly has little patience for his uncle, Prince Andrew, following private remarks Andrew allegedly made about William’s wife, Kate Middleton.
Royal expert Andrew Lownie, who recently published a book on Prince Andrew, revealed that the Duke of York made “unkind comments” about the Princess of Wales. Lownie noted that while Kate has been a stabilizing presence in the royal family, jealousy can sometimes cause surprising behavior.
According to the expert, these comments have frustrated Prince William over the years. William is known for his strong sense of duty and prefers to focus on his responsibilities without dealing with family tensions.
For instance, earlier this year during the royal Easter Sunday service at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, William, Kate, and their three children stayed away, choosing to spend time on a family break in Norfolk. An insider explained that William “has no time for his uncle” and wanted the holiday to be about his own family rather than dealing with Andrew.
In short — Prince William prioritizes his family and duties, keeping his distance from Prince Andrew amid lingering tensions over past unkind remarks.
