Prince William Views the Andrew Problem as King Charles's "Mess," and He "Wanted It Cleaned Up on His Father's Watch"

Prince Andrew laughs with King Charles, as Prince William looks awkward.

The Royal Family made some major changes over the past week, with the former Duke of York relinquishing his titles and becoming known simply as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. Multiple reports have suggested that Prince William played a "role" in his uncle's demotion. Now, sources have alleged that the Prince of Wales knew how important fixing the Andrew issue was for the Royal Family and its future.

According to the Daily Beast, sources close to Prince William claimed that he was instrumental in King Charles's official statement regarding Andrew's demotion. "Charles has been trying and failing to get Andrew out of Royal Lodge for the past three years," the source claimed. "William did it in two weeks. William is king in all but name now."
