Prince William and King Charles III are dealing with the aftermath and differing courses of action<\/a> following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, according to a source.<\/p>\n

A source tells Examiner that the Prince of Wales, 43, feels the former Duke of York, 66, \u201cshould have been removed from the line of succession immediately and cut out of royal life\u201d when his connection to Jeffrey Epstein was first called into question.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that the situation with Andrew wasn\u2019t dealt with ages ago<\/a> is horrifying to him,\u201d the source shares. \u201cAnd even now he\u2019s accusing his father of dragging his feet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWilliam believes Andrew needs to suffer serious consequences, including being cut from the line of succession. He wants to see it done quickly, rather than let this stain linger,\u201d the source continues, adding that as far as the heir to the throne is concerned, \u201cthey can\u2019t let Andrew\u2019s threats of retaliation derail them.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the source notes that the sovereign, 77 \u2014 who stripped his brother Andrew of his titles and honors in 2025 \u2014 \u201crefuses to be pushed,\u201d which is \u201ccausing some very explosive fights behind closed doors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t help that William was promised more responsibility and power, but that has not materialized,\u201d adds the source, \u201cand he\u2019s complaining that he feels frozen out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tension between them is obvious to everyone, and it\u2019s only getting worse,\u201d says the source.<\/p>\n

An insider told Examiner<\/a> in December that William \u201cassumed 2026 would be a breakthrough year where he could finally put his stamp on things,\u201d but \u201cCharles wants to remind everyone that he\u2019s still the boss while he\u2019s alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Examiner<\/a> previously reported, Andrew was arrested on February 19 at his temporary home on Charles\u2019 Sandgrigham estate in Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his communication with the late sex offender during his role as a trade envoy.<\/p>\n

Andrew has not been formally charged and was released from police custody after 11 hours. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
