Insider Claims Senior Royals Would Not Oppose Prison Sentence if Ordered by Law
Fresh claims about Prince Andrew's standing within the Royal Family have emerged, with a palace insider suggesting that senior royals are prepared to accept whatever legal outcome may come his way.
Speaking to Heat, the source alleged that the latest developments surrounding Andrew have caused significant concern behind palace walls.
"This latest turn of events has sent shockwaves through the whole family," the insider claimed. "They feared more trouble was on the horizon but were clinging to the hope it would not come to this."
According to the source, the family's primary concern is not Andrew himself but the potential impact on the monarchy's reputation.
"Make no mistake, the majority of them are not concerned for Andrew," the insider alleged. "This panic is purely for themselves and the royal institution. Nobody wants the humiliation of seeing a senior royal facing a potential trial."
The source further claimed that key members of the family, including William, believe Andrew should face the same legal standards as anyone else.
"They are all saying that if the law deems him fit to go to prison, then so be it," the insider reportedly said.
Meanwhile, another source suggested that only a small number of family members still show sympathy toward Andrew. According to the claim, Anne and Edward remain among the few relatives maintaining a degree of support.
The insider added that while neither sibling is seeking special treatment for Andrew, they would like to see the family take a less distant approach.
As reported by the source, relations between Andrew and other senior royals remain strained, with claims that even opportunities for private contact have been limited. The allegations have not been independently verified, and Buckingham Palace has not publicly commented on the claims.
