A royal commentator has blasted King Charles’s different approaches to handling his son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle compared to his brother, Prince Andrew.
The expert labelled Charles’s efforts to sort out the “Andrew problem” pathetic and the handling of the Sussexes “petty” and “retributive”.
Writing on news.com.au, royal commentator Daniela Elser accused the monarch of choosing “filial appeasement over leadership” and added he has spent the last year “tap-dancing around the Andrew issue like a nervous chorus girl still learning the steps while simultaneously going full Raging Bull on Harry”.
The Duke of York has been dragged back in the news again due to his association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein after more unsealed court documents relating to the case against Ghislaine Maxwell were released and mentioned his name.
But Ms Elser claimed that while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have received “one humiliation after another” in the past 15 months, Andrew is still “pottering around Windsor in a car that costs only marginally less than the average UK house price (truly) and lint-rolling his Garter robes”.
