Amid an already complicated year for the monarchy, new revelations threaten to disrupt the image of harmony that has always been intended to be projected. A renowned expert in royal affairs has brought to light information that could explain why certain members of the Windsor family are rarely seen together in public. The statements, included in a newly published book, have sparked an intense debate about the internal relationships within the Royal House.
Although official appearances are usually carefully planned to show unity, behind the scenes the reality could be very different. According to this specialist, there are gestures and attitudes that, over time, have become true signs of distancing. The story involves leading figures, whose interactions have been marked by accumulated tensions and, apparently, by comments that not everyone has received well.
An author who knows the secrets of the palace
Andrew Lownie, writer and royal biographer, has spent years researching the inner workings of the Windsors. His latest book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, reveals episodes that until now were kept within a very small circle.
Among them, one incident stands out that reportedly caused a notable cooling between two key members of the family. Lownie claims that the information comes from close and reliable sources.
The author keeps that the words and attitudes of some family members do not always match the public image they project. In this case, the tension would not have originated from protocol matters, but from something much more personal. What began as a simple comment, Lownie says, ended up becoming a point of no return in the relationship of those involved.
Andrew Lownie confesses that Kate Middleton doesn't have a good relationship with Andrés
One of the most surprising details that Andrew Lownie has discovered during his research on the Royal House is that "Kate Middleton doesn't have a good relationship with Andrés". This revelation has caused an impact, since many thought otherwise and believed that cordiality prevailed between them.
According to Lownie, the differences are largely due to alleged "unkind" and "rude" remarks that Andrés reportedly made about Kate. For the biographer, this behavior can only be understood from the perspective of rivalry and jealousy.
The comment reportedly caused strong discomfort not only in Kate, but also in Prince William. Lownie points out that the heir to the throne has a deep sense of duty and prefers to avoid anything that could create divisions in the family. However, this episode would have marked a turning point, causing William to distance himself even further from his uncle.
A distancing that goes beyond words
Sources cited in the book claim that the relationship between William and Andrés has been deteriorating for years. The origin would be in the perception that certain behaviors of the duke have damaged the public image of the monarchy. It is even suggested that, when William becomes king, he won't hesitate to ask Andrés and Sarah Ferguson to leave their current residence.
The friction has been evident in visible gestures, such as the absence of the Cambridge family at events where Andrés has been present. One of the most discussed examples was the Easter mass, at which Kate and William decided to extend their family vacation and not attend. Behind this decision, according to those close to them, was the desire to avoid uncomfortable encounters.
As new details come to light, it is clear that the relationship between Prince Andrés and the Princes of Wales is going through one of its most tense moments. Andrew Lownie's revelations have highlighted a distancing that few imagined within the British royal family. Now, the question is whether these differences can be overcome or if they will mark a point of no return in their ties.
