Ex-Prince Andrew was linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

“William has made a very firm decision,” a royal insider told gossip columnist Rob Shuter. “Andrew will never be around Catherine or the kids again. That door is completely closed. William’s priority is protecting Catherine and the children. He doesn’t want them anywhere near the controversy surrounding Andrew.”

The source emphasized, “If Andrew is present, William, Catherine and the children won’t be. It’s that simple.”

Ex-Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct.

Andrew was stripped of his titles in October 2025 due to his ties to deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein. In February, the royal was arrested on suspicion of misconduct but released just 11 hours later. He officially moved out of Royal Lodge that month, along with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who also appears in the Epstein files.

“I can confirm the Prince and Princess have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations. Their thoughts remain focused on the victims,” a spokesperson for William, 43, and Kate, 44, said.
