Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor makes impossible demands of daughters: ‘Even if its social suicide!’

A demand has allegedly been made by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, to the remaining York-clan and some warn it’s social suicide to undertake.

The comment comes via a source that recently spoke to Heat. According to their findings, the issue overtaking the family at the moment is that the girls are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Reason being, neighter Beatrice nor Eugenie can show their father public support, however, its said they do make an effort, albeit under the radar.

However, their father is said to find it akin to throwing him out like yesterday’s trash.

In the words of the source, “Of course if the girls suddenly started making a big public show of supporting Andrew, it would be disastrous. Charles and William would almost certainly wash their hands of them and a lot of doors would slam shut overnight.” So “they’re in an impossible position because they don’t want Andrew to feel they’re abandoning him, but they also have to think about their own children, their husbands and the lives they’ve built for themselves.”

But all through this “Andrew is complaining that they’ve washed their hands of him” but the insider claims, “that’s just not true, they are still in contact with him and still making their best efforts to show him they care,” but “any reasonable person can see what a total disaster it would be for them to start publicly rallying around him right now. It would be the equivalent of social suicide.”

“They’ve worked so hard to carve out their own identities, not just within the royal family but within London society as well. Why should they be expected to throw all of that away just because their father made terrible decisions?” the source asked as part of their defense of the girls.

However, their father does not seem to see it that way, according to an insider, “as far as Andrew’s concerned, family should stick together when the chips are down, not run for cover. He’s warning that if his own family is prepared to sacrifice him to save themselves, then he’s got no reason left to keep protecting them either.”
