Prince William wants full police investigation into uncle Andrew
Prince William wants Andrew scandal settled before he takes the throne
Prince William, the Prince of Wales reportedly wants full police investigation into his uncle, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Insiders recently revealed that the future King of Britain is frustrated by the long-running scandal linked to Andrew. He reportedly believes that the monarchy cannot afford lingering questions once he become the king.
A senior palace aide told Radar Online, "From William's perspective, there cannot be any lingering questions hanging over the monarchy when his reign begins."
Adding, "He thinks the situation involving Andrew has dragged on for far too long and that it needs to be confronted properly rather than quietly tolerated. This is why he is being viewed as the tough guy of the monarchy at the moment."
Prince William believes that "postponing difficult decisions only weakens the institution."
"William feels the royal family must face the problem head-on now, clear the air, and make sure there is absolute transparency before he becomes king," the source said. "William is very conscious that the public expects fairness and accountability, and he believes the monarchy has to reflect that standard."
The eldest son of King Charles believes if serious "concerns are raised about someone's behavior, those issues should be examined openly through the proper legal processes rather than handled quietly behind palace walls."
Prince William, first in the line to British throne, is aware that the monarchy cannot afford to appear "protective of privilege or reluctant to face difficult truths."
"William's feeling is that drawing a clear boundary now – and allowing the law to run its course – is essential if he wants to inherit a crown that is trusted and respected," the source told the outlet.
Furthermore, the Prince of Wales has a stern view on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor scandal. He believes that it is a "stain" on the royal family brand. "He is big into protecting and cleaning up that brand in almost a business and marketing manner. He knows Andrew is toxic for that brand and vision, and wants nothing to do with him," the source noted.
