00:00William must appear cruel to save the monarchy.

00:03The pressure is on Prince William to be harsh toward Prince Andrew,

00:07as his uncle's reputation continues to decline.

00:10It was rumored that Prince William threatened Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice

00:14with stripping away their titles if they didn't push Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to vacate the Royal Lodge.

00:20I am told that this rumor is categorically untrue,

00:23but even if this particular bit of the story has been misrepresented,

00:26there is no doubt that William is a tougher nut than his father,

00:31writer A.N. Wilson said via Daily Mail.

00:34And it is no longer a matter of choice, he must be tough, Wilson continued.

00:39Indeed, if he is to save the monarchy, he must even appear to be cruel.

00:43Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein continue to bring negative attention to the monarchy.

00:48Unless Andrew can be persuaded to banish himself to a cottage on the Balmoral Estate

00:52or a cushy villa on a Dubai golf course,

00:54his scowly, jowly visage will keep seeping back into the national consciousness,

00:59royal expert Tina Brown wrote in a Substack post.

01:03King Charles III recently stripped his brother of all of his titles,

01:06and he must move out of the Royal Lodge.

01:09His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles, and honors of Prince Andrew,

01:15the palace said in the statement.

01:17Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

01:20His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.

01:27Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease,

01:30and he will move to alternative private accommodation.

01:33These censures are deemed necessary,

01:35notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

01:39The palace stated,

01:40Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been,

01:45and will remain with,

01:46the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.
