Prince William Will Undoubtedly Be ‘Cleaning Up’ Ex-Prince Andrew’s ‘Mess For Years to Come’ (Exclusive)

Prince William is being pressed for answers amid the public outrage over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

“Have you been covering up for Andrew?” a heckler shouted at him and Princess Kate outside a Stirling, Scotland pub on Tuesday, January 20.

The future king, 43, has also found himself fielding questions from the media.

“Sir, to what extent do you think the royal family has done enough around the Andrew and Epstein issue?” a reporter asked during William’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia.

“No doubt he’ll be cleaning up this mess for years to come,” a source tells In Touch, adding that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are “both thrilled to be ten thousands miles away from it all.”

Markle, 44, has seemingly been following the situation from Montecito, where she and Harry, 41, live with their two young children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

“The whole Epstein situation absolutely sickens her and she’s horrified by Andrew’s connection to it all,” reveals the source. “That being said, she and Harry have long felt the royals have used them as scapegoats to distract from much more damaging issues, like Andrew and his ties to Epstein.”

Despite settling a sexual abuse lawsuit with the late Virginia Giuffre in 2022, the disgraced Duke of York, 65 — who denies any wrongdoing — wasn’t stripped of his royal titles until last year.

“It was always hard for [Meghan and Harry] to understand how that could just be swept under the rug and ignored while they were being crucified over so much less,” says In Touch’s source. “So, to have Andrew finally facing some consequences has got to feel vindicating for them.”
