Prince Andrew's Former Aide Says His Life Should Be "A Lesson for All Spares" In Wake of Discussions About Louis and Charlotte

With big brother Prince George set to become King one day, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are in the same position as their uncle, Prince Harry, great aunt Princess Anne, and great uncles Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. These royal "spares" have all carved their own paths in life, but when it comes to Prince Andrew, one of his former aides claims that the Royal Family could have done more to guide him.

Writing for the iPaper, veteran royal reporter Richard Palmer noted that Prince William and Princess Kate are finding themselves in a unique position as they are set to lead a more modern, slimmed-down monarchy. All four of Queen Elizabeth's children supported their mother as working royals, but as the family has seen with Prince Harry stepping down from his role, that might not necessarily be the case for all of William's kids.
