A new book claims that Prince Andrew “lobbied hard” to prevent his brother, Charles, from becoming king.
It comes as Andrew received plenty of attention amid the passing of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, who was laid to rest on Monday.
An abridged extract from ‘Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: From Outcast to Queen Consort’, shared by The Telegraph, showed how a senior insider told the author, Angela Levin, that when Diana was alive, through her friendship with Andrew’s wife Sarah, she "plotted with Andrew to try to push Prince Charles aside" so that Andrew could become Regent to Prince William, who at the time was a teenager.
The same royal source stated that Andrew was one of several whom the late sovereign asked for advice around Charles marrying Camilla. Andrew was at the centre of much of the discourse surrounding the Queen’s funeral, when he was invited to wear his military uniform during a vigil inside Westminster Hall as the late monarch lay in state.
