Prince William Is "Taking Control" of the Palace Response to Scandal Following Criticisms

LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 16: Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Prince William, Prince of Wales attend the funeral of The Duchess of Kent at Westminster Cathedral on September 16, 2025 in London, England. Katharine, Duchess of Kent was married Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, the first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. She died on September 4 at the age of 92 at Kensington Palace surrounded by her family. Having converted to Catholicism in 1994, her funeral takes place at Westminster Cathedral and is the first Catholic funeral to be held for a member of the royal family in modern British history.

As anyone who follows any news about the royal family is surely already aware, Prince Andrew's association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein reignited outrage against him and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
