Prince Charles and William urged to save Queen from 'more damage' amid Andrew's show

Prince Charles and his son Prince William should come to the aid of the Queen to "play the roles of enforcers" to prevent the monarch from "more damage", a royal expert has suggested.

The future King and his son, the Duke of Cambridge, have been urged to 'intervene' and take the center stage when it comes to decisions surrounding Prince Andrew to prevent the monarch from "more damage".

The Queen's disgraced son, Prince Andrew, captured attention at the memorial service for his late father on Tuesday. 

Dan Wootton, a royal commentator, reacted to the Duke of York’s prominent role at the ceremony in a column he penned for the Daily Mail.

He claimed William and Charles should have “intervened” as in the aftermath of the service, “the knives are out for Andrew”.

The expert writes that a royal source said: “Prince Charles and William were not happy with the arrangements. 

“Now, though, after the last 24 hours of negative headlines, the knives are out for Andrew in a way you can't believe, especially among the men in grey suits at the Palace.”

Wootton claimed the Queen's son and grandson could have stepped in, as “Charles and William have proven that when they stage a genuine intervention with the Queen – and do so with some purpose – she will listen”.

He said Charles and William  are likely to have had a hand in seeing Andrew step down from royal duties following his disastrous Newsnight interview, and that the monarch should heed their advice once more. He went on to add that any action taken by the father and son must be imminent in order to protect the Queen.
