Prince William has outlined a plan<\/a> to deal with his disgraced uncle, Prince Andrew, once he becomes king, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

This, in turn, means taking a far less diplomatic approach than his father, King Charles.<\/p>\n

\u201cWilliam is far more hard-nosed than Charles when it comes to protecting the monarchy\u2019s reputation,\u201d one former courtier told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s fully aware of the harm Andrew has caused to the monarchy\u2019s reputation and won\u2019t shy away from actions his grandmother or father may have steered clear of.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew\u2019s dukedom could be up for discussion when William takes the throne,\u201d an insider said.<\/p>\n

According to the report, William will be looking to Parliament for help in stripping royal titles through legislation.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, the monarch has the power to revoke HRH titles through Letters Patent \u2014 something he is reportedly thinking of doing.<\/p>\n

The prince and princess titles can also be removed with a Royal Warrant, though insiders said it\u2019s unlikely that this approach will receive government backing as it may be deemed a personal matter, the outlet adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public deserves to know their monarchy is free from scandal,\u201d the future king reportedly told his inner circle, per the outlet.<\/p>\n

The Post has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.<\/p>\n

According to author Andrew Lownie, William and his scandal-scarred uncle are said to have fallen out over the \u201cnasty remarks\u201d<\/a> Andrew made about the Princess of Wales.<\/p>\n

Lownie added that the alleged remarks came from a place of jealousy, as\u00a0the duke was envious<\/a>\u00a0that Princess Catherine had become a key figure of the Firm following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n

The alleged comments had resulted in the breakdown of their relationship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It comes just days after Lownie, who details\u00a0various tidbits about the scandal-scarred prince<\/a>\u00a0in his latest biography,\u00a0\u201cEntitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of\u00a0York,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0claimed the duke doesn\u2019t have a bright future regarding his royal and private lives.<\/p>\n

Lownie said Andrew \u2014 who recently\u00a0won his yearslong fight to stay at the Royal Lodge<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 is already \u201cliving the life of a retired man.\u201d<\/p>\n

The author added that Andrew had been most affected by the stripping of his royal titles<\/a> following his many controversies \u2014 including\u00a0his close association<\/a>\u00a0with late convicted pedophile and financier Jeffrey Epstein, the\u00a0sexual abuse lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0filed against him by the late Virginia Giuffre and his links to\u00a0alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat most annoys him is his lack of a royal status<\/a>. That\u2019s what really sort of gave him his whole sense of identity,\u201d he told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s, you know, it\u2019s not being able to put on his uniforms and strut around and being self-important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed,\u00a0Andrew\u2019s fate within the monarchy<\/a>\u00a0had been reportedly decided by William already.<\/p>\n

Additionally, insiders suggest that William will be eager to evict Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, from the Royal Lodge, where the pair have lived since 2004.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William has outlined a plan to deal with his disgraced uncle, Prince Andrew, once he becomes king,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79262,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75,27348,48011,4338,45282,1067,1069],"class_list":["post-79261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-kate-middleton","tag-kensington-palace","tag-king-charles-iii","tag-prince-andrew","tag-prince-william","tag-royal-family"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79261\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
