When Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his titles and honors in October 2025, it was widely reported that Prince William had been a "driving force” behind King Charles’s decision.

In Elizabeth II: In Private. In Public. Her Story by Robert Hardman, the royal biographer wrote that Prince William made a surprising call to his uncle after the shocking title announcement was made last year.
