New claims suggest Anne and Edward are encouraging King Charles to take a softer approach toward their younger brother.
Fresh reports suggest that Princess Anne has joined efforts to support her brother Andrew as concerns grow over the ongoing scrutiny surrounding his public image and personal wellbeing.
According to a source cited by Heat magazine, Anne and Edward have been encouraging King Charles to show greater compassion toward Andrew, who has faced years of controversy linked to his former role as a trade envoy and his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“Anne and Edward have been urging Charles to ease up on Andrew a little because they’re worried about his state of mind,” the insider claimed.
The reported support is said to extend beyond Andrew to include his daughters. According to the source, Anne has also been standing behind Eugenie and Beatrice as they navigate the fallout from the ongoing attention surrounding their father.
“It hasn’t surprised anyone that Anne is now throwing her weight behind Eugenie and Beatrice,” the source alleged. “She says she’s acting as an aunt and on behalf of her late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who would not want to see her dear granddaughters mistreated this way.”
However, the report paints a different picture on another side of the royal family. The insider claimed that Queen Camilla is continuing efforts to reduce the influence of Andrew’s branch of the family within royal circles.
The source further alleged that William shares a similar view on the matter, despite reported differences between him and Camilla on other issues.
“She has an ally in William, so she’s roped him into this as well,” the insider claimed. “They rarely see eye to eye but in this case he does agree with her and she’s using it to her full advantage.”
The claims remain unverified, and no member of the royal family has publicly commented on the reported discussions. As with many royal reports based on unnamed sources, the details should be treated as speculation unless confirmed by official statements.
