William’s ‘Grudge’ Against Andrew Is Reportedly Due to His Treatment of Kate

Prince William's 'grudge' against Prince Andrew dates back to when he first introduced Kate to the royal family.

Prince William is already preparing for his future role as King. The Prince of Wales has been gifted new royal powers and an additional title from King Charles in recent weeks, and his royal responsibilities have notably increased over the last eighteen months. In the wake of the King's cancer diagnosis last year, William stepped in for the monarch on several occasions and it has prompted conversations about the kind of King William will be. While some experts claim he will be the 'toughest ruler' the royals have 'ever seen', others have praised him for his compassion and unwavering commitment to his work.

While William and Charles are reported to have different opinions when it comes to a reunion with estranged Prince Harry, it seems there is another point of contention between the King and his heir: Prince Andrew. According to royal journalist Richard Kay, the Prince has 'long held a grudge' against his uncle, and believes that Charles has been 'too soft' on Andrew. In recent years, there have been several reports that William is keen for the King to remove Andrew from his Royal Lodge home so that he and his family can relocate to the property in Windsor. However, Kay has claimed that William's issue with Andrew actually dates back to the beginning of his relationship with the Princess of Wales.
