Princess Kate’s influence behind Prince Andrew’s title removal exposed

Princess Kate reportedly played a highly significant role in the shocking decision to strip Prince Andrew of his royal titles.

For the unversed, the 65-year-old former Duke of York announced the withdrawal of his titles in a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Friday, October 17, amid the controversy surrounding his association with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Political commentator Emma Woolf has now made the striking claim that Kate and her husband, Prince William, played a “hugely influential” role, more than people first anticipated.

“I actually think William and Kate have been really quite influential in this whole decision. I think they get it,” she remarked.

“William and Kate - they are of the age who completely get it on how unacceptable abuse is and how victims should be listened to, and how mental health has changed completely," she continued.

Elsewhere during the discussion, she noted that there is a major difference between King Charles’s generation and that of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

“If you look at the difference between Charles's generation, unfortunately, I think the King just feels this is terrible. You know, can this whole thing just go away?” she stated, adding, “Whereas I think William and Kate really get it.”

This update comes after reports suggested that Prince William is considering a ban for his disgraced paternal uncle, Prince Andrew, from all upcoming royal events.
