The late Princess Diana had strong opinions about her former brother-in-law, Prince Andrew, according to explosive claims in a new Royal biography. While Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor hasn’t always been to everyone’s taste, it appears the late Princess wasn’t a fan of his either. Andrew Lownie’s book, Entitled: The Rise And Fall Of The House Of York, reveals the Princess of Wales held critical views of the now-disgraced Duke of York.
The author reports that Andrew’s boisterous behavior and penchant for stirring up drama didn’t sit well with Diana.
According to Mr Lownie, Diana documented her private observations, writing: “He was very, very noisy and loud… It occurred to me that there was something troubling him.”
Describing his demeanor as “wasn’t for me”, Diana also observed that her brother-in-law was “very happy to sit in front of the television all day watching cartoons and videos” and characterized him as “not a doer.”
Since King Charles removed Andrew from his Royal duties, no member of the Royal Family has publicly addressed his controversies, though past accounts of their private sentiments have surfaced.
