Royal watchers have erupted in anger over shocking claims that Prince Andrew made “nasty” and “unkind” remarks about Princess Kate Middleton, sparking speculation about a deep rift within the royal family.
According to a report by the New York Post, royal biographer Andrew Lownie alleges that the Duke of York’s comments have intensified his already strained relationship with his nephew, Prince William.
The claims have stirred fresh controversy around the royal family, with many fans expressing disgust over the idea of anyone targeting the Princess of Wales, who has often been described as the monarchy’s most admired figure.
One royal supporter, commenting on the allegations, said, “I hope that King William does evict them from the Royal Lodge. Andrew and Sarah are in their 60s: time for them to downsize, as so many other seniors do.”
Another echoed similar frustration, declaring, “I cannot wait for Prince William to be King. William is strong, intelligent, compassionate, and will not put up with problematic, disgraceful Prince Andrew.”
A third fan went further, delivering a scathing verdict on Andrew’s conduct, “These spares! Nothing but trouble for the royal family. Both lack intelligence and make up for it with terrible behaviour. Both are a constant embarrassment to their family, and both made disastrous marital decisions.”
The backlash reflects the public’s deep affection for Kate Middleton, who has been a steadying presence in the royal family, particularly during moments of turmoil. Many see her as a modernising force who has balanced tradition with approachability.
Speaking to Radar Online in remarks reported by the New York Post, Andrew Lownie said, “I cannot see how anyone could make unkind comments about Kate when she has been the family’s saving grace.”
He admitted to being surprised by the alleged remarks but suggested that jealousy can sometimes drive such behaviour. “It surprised me, but people do get jealous,” Lownie explained.
The royal biographer also questioned why Prince Andrew would risk offending his own nephew, who is poised to become the next monarch. “I would have thought Prince Andrew would respect William as future king rather than be nasty about his wife,” he added.

While there has been no official comment from Buckingham Palace, the story has reignited discussions about Andrew’s role and future within the monarchy, particularly in light of past controversies that have damaged his public standing.
Some royal insiders believe the allegations could widen the gap between Prince William and his uncle, who have already had little direct involvement in each other’s public work.
For Prince William, any attack on Kate Middleton is likely to be deeply personal. The couple has consistently presented a united front, with William fiercely protective of his wife in the face of media intrusion and criticism.
Kate’s own popularity remains strong, with her poised public appearances and charitable initiatives winning her admiration from around the world. Many royal observers argue that she has been instrumental in bolstering the monarchy’s image, particularly among younger generations.
The timing of these allegations is also significant, coming as the royal family faces multiple challenges, including King Charles’s ongoing health concerns and lingering tensions following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure.
For now, the public response to the story shows no sign of slowing, with social media continuing to buzz with calls for accountability and demands for greater respect toward the Princess of Wales.
Whether or not these alleged comments were meant to be private, they have clearly struck a nerve with royal fans and may have lasting consequences for Prince Andrew’s already fragile reputation
