The British royal family's decision to exclude Prince Andrew from official functions has worsened relations between the York sisters, the Cambridges and Prince Charles, a royal expert claims.

The disgraced royal has been kept out of the public eye since 2020 after his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein came under renewed scrutiny, and Epstein's accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, also said that Andrew was a former financier's criminal He has accused Andrew of being an "abuser" and a "participant" in the former financier's criminal activities.

Prince Charles and Prince William are reportedly the senior royals most adamantly opposed to Andrew's return to public life and, at least according to commentator Neal Schon, seem at odds with their daughters Beatrice and Eugenie. [It concerns Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William's father Prince Charles," Sean said (via Express).

"According to very good sources, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are having a hard time maintaining friendly relations with Prince William, Princess Catherine, and Prince Charles.

"This is due to a deal that Prince William, the Queen, and Prince Charles have organized in recent years to remove their father, Prince Andrew, from royal duties in disgrace."

The couple's relationship with Prince William, Princess Catherine, and Prince Charles has been in a state of flux.

Sean continued, "The thawing of the two families has been difficult. [Prince William and Prince Charles are doing this for the monarchy. [They are reading the public air that Andrew should retire permanently from public life."

However, the monarchy's vision when Prince Charles ascends to the throne will reportedly not leave room for the York sisters to perform such royal duties. Sean also explained that the relationship between the two women and the Sussex family further complicates matters.

As for the public mood, Sean is right: the people of York want him stripped of his title (he is the Duke of York), and "abolish the monarchy" became a Twitter trend during the 2021 trial.
