The former Prince Andrew has reportedly been kept at a distance from other members of the royal family, but sources are saying no one is as over him as his nephew, Prince William.

A royal insider has come forward to discuss the disgraced prince’s relationship with his nephew, the future king, and how things are not going well between the two since his arrest. Now, the source is claiming that William has “closed the door” for his uncle, unwilling to let him spend any time with his family or regain his closeness to the monarchy as a whole due to his involvement in the crimes and scandals of Jeffrey Epstein. Read more about the situation below.

Prince William Has Reportedly 'Closed' The Door Between Prince Andrew And His Family

There have been numerous scandals and major events that have happened within the royal family, but right now, one of the most talked-about situations is ex-Prince Andrew's arrest last month.

 

The prince, who was stripped of his royal titles weeks ago, was arrested last month after more incriminating evidence against him popped up in the release of more Epstein files by the Department of Justice. He was released and became part of an investigation after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct while in public office.

 

Since it happened, the entire internet has been buzzing, and numerous royal family fans have wondered what that means in terms of his relationships with other royal relatives. Now, a royal insider is telling famous reporter Rob Shuter that future king Prince William has made "a very firm decision" to keep Andrew away from his family.

 

"That door is completely closed," they added.

Prince William Is Reportedly 'Protecting' Kate Middleton & Their Children

It's assumed that the future monarch is going through a lot right now, not only making preparations to take over the throne whenever his father, King Charles, decides to step down, but also having to deal with the aftermath of his uncle's scandal.

 

Some reports have claimed that the 43-year-old prince has known about his uncle's wrongdoings for quite some time, and after he defended his friendship with the criminal financier in a 2019 interview, he began making a case for disassociating himself from the monarchy. Now that the prince has officially had his titles stripped and is further from his royal family members than ever, another source told Shuter he has plans to keep it that way for the sake of his family.

 

"William's priority is protecting Catherine and the children," the insider explained. "He doesn't want them anywhere near the controversy surrounding Andrew. If Andrew is present, William, Catherine, and the children won't be. It's that simple."
