According to People, a source told the Mirror on Thursday that, “Prince William is reportedly restarting conversation with his father, Prince Charles, about Prince Andrew as renewed scandal over alleged sexual abuse has ushered in fresh scrutiny of the Duke of York.”

According to the source, the direct heirs to the throne, aka William and Charles, “along with members [of the royal family], are undoubtedly increasingly concerned about the effect all of this turmoil could have on the Queen.”

Andrew’s public scandal comes at a time when Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle have launched multiple verbal attacks against the monarchy.

William is third in line to the throne behind Charles and it makes sense that he would be involved in key decisions that affect the monarchy.

On Friday, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall arrived at their home on the Balmoral estate. Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, arrived on Tuesday and their daughter Princess Eugenie arrived with her family on Wednesday.

On Monday, Giuffre conveyed to People, “As the suit lays out in detail, I was trafficked to him and sexually abused by him.”

“I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me. The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions. I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear, but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.”
