Queen, Prince Charles, and Prince William 'absolutely furious' with Prince Andrew for 'bringing the Royal Family into disrepute'
The Queen is reportedly furious with her son Prince Andrew whose recent sex allegations have damaged the royal family's reputation
Her Majesty the Queen is reportedly furious with her son Prince Andrew for his recent actions which have brought the royal family into disrepute.
- It was recently announced that the Queen would be stripping Prince Andrew of his military honors and HRH title.
- This is because the Prince is currently involved in civil trial over sex abuse allegations.

It has been reported by royal experts that the key members of the monarchy are 'absolutely furious' with Prince Andrew for opening up the royal family for ridicule.
Royal reporter Angela Levin told The Sun, "If the Queen asked Prince Charles and Prince William they would have been very firm, Prince William and Prince Charles have been absolutely furious with him bringing the Royal Family into disrepute."
"Whatever he may or may not have done he certainly was a friend of Epstein and invited him to parties, royal parties when they knew he had been accused of having relationships with underage girls."
"So there’s no doubt about that. I would imagine that this time the Queen would also listen to her aides. But she also has strong views so if she didn’t want to do it, she wouldn’t have done it—she obviously felt they’d crossed a red line."
It was announced by a US judge that the civil trial actioned against Prince Andrew was given the go-ahead and the Prince would be put on trial with a jury present later this year in New York. Fans are wondering exactly when the Prince Andrew trial will happen as it is still unclear if the royal plans to continue to ignore this court case.
In reaction to this news, Buckingham Palace quickly announced that Prince Andrew would be stripped of his patronages, his royal highness title, and other royal honors. Angela Levin commented that she was surprised by the firm's speedy reaction.

"I am astonished that the Palace has operated so quickly."
"I think they must be absolutely furious with him - because they haven’t just put aside the HRH title, they have said he’s got to face the case as a private citizen and I think that is capital letters for him as to how he must now behave and take it seriously," she said.
"It's like having cold water thrown in your face to wake you up."
"I also felt the Palace had to act very fast because this anti-monarchy group that’s got former members of the navy and the army writing to the Queen herself saying they don’t want him to carry on being patron."
As one of the Queen's four children, Prince Andrew is ninth in the royal line of succession and therefore had always understood the scrutiny and high expectations that are placed on members of the royal family.
Reportedly, Prince Andrew has no way back to royal life as the royal family is unwilling to forgive the Prince's actions.
