Prince Harry and Megan Markle's decision to depart the royals has precipitated extra problems for the household than allegations of underage sexual assault levelled against Prince Andrew, professional Tina Brown claims.
Brown, who is also the writer of various books on the royal household such as The Palace Papers, told Bloomberg podcast In The City Andrew has been "ring-fenced" whereas Harry is, "much extra of a problem... he keeps them all on the backfoot questioning the place the issues are coming from."
Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth II's 0.33 child, was accused of participating in sexual things to do with Virginia Giuffre in 2001. Giuffre, who was once 17 at the time, alleged he sexually assaulted her on three separate occasions.
Giuffre claims she was once trafficked by means of convicted intercourse perpetrator Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and "passed around like a platter of fruit" among the couple's effective associates.



Prince Andrew denies Giuffre's accusations and claimed he does not be aware ever meeting Giuffre.
A now-famous photo emerged of the Duke with his hand round the young Giuffre's hip, posing in front of Ghislaine Maxwell. According to The Guardian, Giuffre's allegations have never been tested in court.
Andrew reached an undisclosed agreement with his accuser beforehand this year, bringing an quit to the criminal proceedings.
While he has mostly avoided the highlight for the reason that then, he has publicly regarded at services for his father Prince Phillip.
The underage sexual abuse allegations and consequent outrage in opposition to the Duke, which Brown referred to as Prince Andrew's "cancelling", have made it tough for the family to manipulate the collateral harm against the royal institution's public image.
"It was distressing optics – to say the least – when he regarded at Prince Phillip's memorial with the aid of her side," said Brown. However, Brown stated the awful PR is easier to manipulate because the royal family has generally "ring-fenced" the difficulty round the Prince.
Additionally, Brown claims "people do understand every so regularly the Queen is going to desire her son subsequent to her… Everyone's going to assume 'okay, she's 96, let her have it.'"



On the other hand, Brown believes Harry and Meghan's selection to step lower back from royal responsibilities following an avalanche of racist and hostile insurance from British tabloids is a greater trouble for the royal family.
Unlike the Andrew situation, the royal family can't tightly manipulate the couple's media appearances, which capability they are free to expose the royal's failure to provide mental fitness support, household tensions, and relatives' alleged racist feedback to the media.
Brown stated "Andrew has no longer precisely greater the gravitas of the crown and neither has the constant bomb-throwing of Harry," and some Commonwealth nations such as Jamaica and even Australia have made moves away from the monarchy, she believes the royal group will remain stable.
"I think the monarchy isn't going anywhere."
