Prince William is reportedly determined to distance the monarchy from Sarah Ferguson, expressing strong disapproval over her continued association with the Royal Family.
According to new claims, the Prince of Wales “loathes” his uncle Prince Andrew’s ex-wife and wants both of them stripped of their remaining royal privileges. The couple currently lives together at Royal Lodge in Windsor, where Andrew has resided for decades.
A royal insider told The Mirror: “He [William] also loathes Sarah, Andrew’s ex-wife, and can’t wait for the day when his father throws them both out. If Charles doesn’t, I guarantee you the first thing William does when he eventually becomes king is to get them evicted.”
The tension reportedly stems from William’s long-standing frustration over how his uncle handled past controversies, particularly the scandal surrounding Andrew’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Despite being forced to step back from royal duties, Andrew continues to live on royal grounds — a situation that William allegedly finds unacceptable.
Royal expert Richard Eden told The Daily Mail that “differences between monarch and heir do remain, especially when it comes to the Prince Andrew scandal.” He noted that William “has long held a grudge against Andrew for being unwelcoming when he first introduced the then Kate Middleton to the royal family.”
Eden added that William feels King Charles has been too lenient with his younger brother. “He feels that his father has been too soft on him,” Eden said. The expert also noted growing speculation that the Prince of Wales may be quietly pressuring King Charles to evict Andrew from Royal Lodge — a property some royal watchers believe William and Kate could move into if it were vacated.
While King Charles is said to have been reluctant to escalate tensions within the family, insiders claim that William’s stance is far less forgiving. His alleged desire to “get them evicted” suggests a firmer, more pragmatic approach toward protecting the image of the monarchy as he prepares for his future role as king.
Neither Buckingham Palace nor representatives for the Duke and Duchess of York have commented publicly on the claims.
