Prince Harry’s Explosive Words About Prince Andrew Roar Back to Life After Duke Drops His Titles
Prince Harry’s scathing remarks about his uncle Prince Andrew have come roaring back into headlines after Andrew abruptly gave up his royal titles, reigniting fierce debate over double standards inside the monarchy.
The Daily Express reports that although Prince Harry has stayed silent in the wake of Andrew’s downfall this week, his fury is already preserved in print inside his 2023 memoir Spare and the quotes are now resurfacing with new force.
In Spare, Harry expressed deep resentment over losing taxpayer funded royal security after he and Meghan Markle stepped back from their roles in 2020.
He compared his treatment to that of Prince Andrew, who at the time retained security despite facing global scandal over his friendship with convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Harry wrote about trying to reassure Meghan that their protection would never be stripped, insisting: “Never. Not in this climate of hate. Not after what happened to my mother. Also not in the wake of my Uncle Andrew.”
He pointed out the staggering contrast in how the institution handled the Sussexes versus Andrew. Speaking about Andrew, Harry wrote that his uncle was “embroiled in a shameful scandal, accused of the assault of a young woman and no one had so much suggested that he lose his security.”
The Duke of Sussex reminded Meghan that “whatever grievances people had against us, shocking crimes weren’t on the list” a furious swipe at the tolerance Andrew appeared to receive inside palace circles even at the height of the Epstein backlash.
Those remarks are being widely re shared now that Prince Andrew has finally surrendered his royal titles under fresh scrutiny of leaked emails tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
Many critics say Harry’s words now look “prophetic,” while others argue they expose a long standing double standard in royal decision making.
Prince Harry, who is now 41 and living in California with Meghan, has not issued any public statement since Andrew formally relinquished his titles earlier this week. Observers believe he may choose to stay silent to avoid being accused of capitalizing on the scandal.
But the internet has already made that choice for him, screenshots of Harry’s quotes are circulating across social media as royal watchers revisit the glaring gap between how Meghan and Harry were treated versus how palace insiders handled Prince Andrew for years.
As Andrew retreats from public royal life, pressure is intensifying on King Charles and Prince William to confront unfinished reputational damage tied to the Epstein files. Meanwhile, Harry’s memoir has become ammunition once again in a narrative war the palace cannot easily control.
