Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of the current King of England, and also often referred to as the ‘disgraced Duke’ has been suffering complete exile and now his struggles are turning dire because even his own daughters are stepping back, alongside his ex-wife, with whom he’s had a very amicable relationship despite their divorce.

Insight into his struggles, especially the growing isolation he feels has been explained by a well placed insider that spoke to Closer magazine recently.

According to them, “Andrew simply cannot understand how it’s come to this.”

“He insists he's doing everything he can to help them behind the scenes.” Whether that be by lobbying the King to get them more financial help, or fighting to protect their titles, the fact is that he “swears up and down he’s even been trying to help Sarah Ferguson’s standing within the family,” and “instead of being grateful they are stabbing him in the back.”

All in all “he’s feeling completely abandoned and left to rot by his own family,” the insider also warned and added that its come to the point where he’s considering complete separation and is warning that if “they’re prepared to throw him under the bus to save themselves, then they’ll all go down together because he’s got no reason left to keep protecting people who won’t even give him the time of day.”
