Prince William’s feud with Prince Andrew deepens over remarks about Kate Middleton.

Prince William’s feud with Prince Andrew deepens over remarks about Kate Middleton.

Prince William’s relationship with his uncle, Prince Andrew, has reportedly deteriorated following alleged disrespectful feedback Andrew made about Kate Middleton, insiders have revealed.

According to royal specialist Andrew Lownie, the Prince of Wales was once left “furious” after his uncle’s remarks about the Princess of Wales, the small print of which have no longer been made public. The revelations come from Lownie’s new book, shedding mild on long-standing tensions within the royal family.

“William, meanwhile, used to be ‘furious’ at being ambushed in this way,” Lownie wrote, citing shut buddies of the inheritor to the throne. “He has been at pains to distance himself from his uncle and no longer be photographed with him.”

The e book similarly claims that William believes his father, King Charles III, has no longer treated the problem with sufficient firmness and that each Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have “undermined the top work” of different senior royals.

One insider quoted in the e book added, “He additionally loathes Sarah, Andrew’s ex-wife, and can’t wait for the day when his father throws them each out. If Charles doesn’t, I assurance you the first issue William does when he sooner or later will become king is to get them evicted.”

Recent reports from multiple royal experts and biographies indicate that the longstanding tension between Prince William and his uncle, formerly known as Prince Andrew (now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor), has indeed intensified, with roots tracing back to Andrew’s alleged “disparaging” and “rude” remarks about Kate Middleton. These comments, described as stemming from jealousy over Kate’s rising popularity and her non-aristocratic background, reportedly infuriated William, who is portrayed as “fiercely protective” of his wife.

The feud gained fresh attention in late October 2025 when King Charles stripped Andrew of his remaining royal titles and ordered him to vacate Royal Lodge in Windsor, relocating him to Sandringham. Sources claim William has been a key driver behind these actions, viewing Andrew’s presence as a risk to the monarchy’s reputation—exacerbated by Andrew’s Epstein associations and harboring personal resentment from the Kate incidents. Royal biographer Andrew Lownie, in his book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the Yorks, quotes insiders saying Andrew was “rude” to Kate early in her royal integration, possibly due to snobbery about her middle-class origins.

Expert Hilary Fordwich told media outlets that the rift “started primarily due to Andrew’s jealousy and resulting disparaging remarks regarding Kate Middleton,” leading William to enforce a “zero-tolerance” policy toward his uncle’s scandals. William reportedly “loathes” Andrew and has worked behind the scenes for years to evict him, with one source stating: “If Charles doesn’t [evict him], I guarantee you the first thing William does when he eventually becomes king is to get them evicted.”

While the exact words of Andrew’s remarks remain undisclosed, they are consistently framed as unkind and motivated by envy of Kate’s poise and public favor. This personal grudge has intertwined with broader efforts to distance the monarchy from Andrew’s controversies, with William and Kate allegedly pushing for a “clean break” to avoid tainting Windsor properties.

Discussions on X echo these reports, with users sharing articles and speculating on the drama, though no new primary evidence has emerged there. These claims rely heavily on anonymous sources and expert commentary, typical in royal reporting, and represent one side of insider narratives—Andrew has not publicly responded to the specific Kate allegations.
