King Charles and Prince William are said to be genuinely frustrated by the legal complications preventing Andrew from removing him from the British royal succession.
Andrew, who stepped back from royal duties following the controversy surrounding his affair with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, is eighth in line to the throne despite losing his honorary titles and royal roles.
According to OK! Magazine, the monarch and the Prince of Wales tried to find a way to remove him from the succession.
However, after discovering that there is no clear legal precedent for doing so, they have now stopped doing so but their frustration is increasing.
“There is a clear sense that William and Charles are seething and frustrated behind the scenes over the labyrinthine complications preventing Andrew from being removed from the line of succession, but while the public mood is clear, the legal reality is still proving very difficult,” the source said.
He added, “They would love to see quick action, but the system itself is so complex that even beginning that process raises questions that have no straightforward answers.”
