Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

Elizabeth and Charles' biographer, Robert Hardam, reveals the impressions of those who live near Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor: He is very rude, he lives in another world.

As the investigation into him has rocked the royal family and sparked a new crisis in London, former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor seems to be living in a parallel reality. According to those who watch him closely, he acts as if nothing has happened.

"He's very rude. He lives in another world." That's how people who live near him describe him, says the well-known writer of Elizabeth and Charles' biography, Robert Hardman.

The portrait that emerges from them is cold and harsh: a man who complains incessantly and who has never mentioned the scandal that has put him under investigation for possible abuse of office.

"Since he came here, he's just been complaining," a person close to the family said. "He doesn't talk about what's going on. He's more worried about where he's going to put the horses or where he's going to park the car."

According to the same source, the fact that his expenses are covered by the king should bring some gratitude. "But that's not seen either," he adds.

These comments were made before last Thursday, which changed everything. That day, Andrew was detained, questioned for 11 hours, and his apartments were searched. Since then, there has been no public response from the royal family. Total silence.

The king had previously reacted with a firm stance: the law must take its course. After that, the family is trying to appear as stable as possible in public.

Her strongest figures appear on stage. Kate appeared at a rugby match in Twickenham, smiling as always. Princess Anne, the sister of the king and Andrew, continues her engagements without stopping. She has long been considered one of the most disciplined of the family, and was even among the first to choose not to give her children the title of "Royal Highness".

A step that was later followed by Prince Edward, but not Andrew, whose daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, still use the title.

According to royal observers, this looks like the start of a new strategy personally led by the king. A strategy to save the crown's image from a deepening crisis.

There is even open talk of removing Andrew from the line of succession to the throne, where he currently ranks eighth.

Downing Street has confirmed that the government is working with Buckingham Palace on a special law that would remove him from the dynastic order. The procedure is not simple, as it requires the approval of the 15 Commonwealth countries where the monarch is head of state. But it is not impossible either.

In the background remains the shadow of the case that shocked the world years ago, that of Jeffrey Epstein. After Andrew's arrest, the name of Ghislaine Maxwell, sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking of minors, has also returned to the debate.

Her brother, Ian Maxwell, has publicly come out in defense of his sister, saying that she has become a "scapegoat" for Epstein's crimes and that if he were alive, he would be in prison, not her. A claim that contradicts the victims' testimonies.
