Yet Charles seems to have no issue with distancing his own son Harry. It is bizarre to me how monarchists equate the behaviour of Harry with that of Andrew; all Harry is guilty of is choosing a separate path and stepping away from the monarchy. That seems to be the one unforgivable thing to monarchy's supporters; despite the fact that the right to choose one's own career is something that they and the rest of us would take for granted when it comes to ourselves.
Andrew otoh has maintained a close friendship with a sex trafficker and allegedly abused one of the victims - yet remains in the Royal fold. I just don't believe that an immensely privileged man like Charles couldn't distance himself from A if he wanted to; he had no difficulty distancing his son, or his first wife.
The difference between their treatment and the kid gloves approach to Andrew is striking. The Sussexes seem to make their own living; I suppose it is meant to be better to be grifters like the Yorks.
And it isn't working in making A 'toe the line'; he has just embarrassed them yet again through his behaviour at the DofK's funeral. And leaks about Epstein are going to continue to come out.
