Prince William and Kate Middleton could be facing what insiders are calling a “dreaded chapter” in the long-running scandal surrounding Prince Andrew.
According to a new report, the Prince and Princess of Wales “have drawn up what aides privately call the final line” when it comes to the Duke of York’s future in royal life.
Later this year, William, Kate, and their three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — are set to move into their new home, Forest Lodge, just a short drive from Andrew’s residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor.
The ‘Dreaded Chapter’
Sources claim that while the family’s move symbolizes a fresh start, it also brings renewed proximity to a relative they reportedly want to keep at arm’s length. Speaking to Closer, an insider alleged that the Prince and Princess “want Andrew permanently off the stage.”
“This is the chapter William and Kate have dreaded,” the source said. “They want Andrew permanently off the stage.”
The Duke of York, 65, has spent recent years mired in scandal, mainly over his association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He stepped back from public duties in 2019 after his friendship with Epstein and allegations of sexual assault against him made global headlines.
