Prince William Just Made This Shocking Comment About Prince Andrew—Is He Allowed To Say That?!

According to reports, Prince William made the comments about his uncle to a close friend, who then promptly told The Times. As per the publication, the 39-year-old is "no fan of Uncle Andrew," and one of the "triggers" that "really gets" him is Prince Andrew's perceived "ungracious and ungrateful" attitude towards his position, which Wills considers "a risk" and a "threat" to the royal family. "Any suggestion that there isn’t gratitude for the institution, anything that could lead anyone in the public to think that senior members of the royal family aren’t grateful for their position, William thinks is really dangerous," the friend said.

Another palace insider said that Prince Andrew, the Queen's second son, is still hoping that he can return to some of his royal duties in the not-so-distant future, although the insider insists that the royal family will never allow that to happen. "There is no way in the world he’s ever coming back," the source said, before adding, "The family will never let it happen." This echoes some earlier comments from other royal insiders, who previously told The Times that both Prince William and his father Prince Charles are in agreement that "there will never be a return to public life for Andrew."

As for the latest with the lawsuit, it's currently being reported that UK authorities are dropping the case after a third review, with a source close to the Duke of York telling People, "Despite pressure from the media and claims of new evidence, the Met have concluded that the claims are not sufficient to warrant any further investigation. The Duke has always vigorously maintained his innocence and continues to do so."

Giuffre, who has now become an advocate of justice for sex trafficking victims, commented on the lawsuit back in August, saying: "I did not come to this decision lightly. As a mother and a wife, my family comes first — and I know that this action will subject me to further attacks by Prince Andrew and his surrogates — but I knew if I did not pursue this action, I would be letting them and victims everywhere down."
