Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have earned a cheeky nickname among Palace staff due to their ongoing royal troubles
London: The relationship between Prince Harry and Prince Andrew with the Royal Family is pretty rocky. They’ve both been in the spotlight for some not-so-great reasons. It seems the staff at Buckingham Palace have a secret nickname for them. They call them the “Dukes of Hazard.”
This nickname reflects their ongoing issues with the monarchy. Prince Andrew has had his share of scandals, like his ties to a Chinese spy and that infamous Newsnight interview about Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, Harry has distanced himself from the family after making serious accusations against them.
Kate Mansey, a Royal Correspondent, shared this tidbit on Times Radio. She mentioned that people at the Palace see both Harry and Andrew as “the two difficult dukes.” It’s clear that they’re seen as trouble for the King, especially Andrew.
Recently, Andrew missed a dinner at Windsor Castle for his old school, even though he lives nearby. His sister, Princess Anne, hosted the event. A friend of Andrew said he would have loved to be there if he had been invited.
As for Harry, he’s set to return to the UK next month for a trial against The Sun’s publishers. But a family reunion seems unlikely. Reports say Prince William has cut ties with him, and King Charles was too busy to meet Harry during his last visit.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliam thinks Harry might skip staying at Buckingham Palace next month. He believes it’s a form of protest. It’s strange that Harry chose a hotel over the Palace, right?
Security is another issue for Harry. He’s appealing a decision from the Home Office about his security arrangements. Who would have thought he’d prefer a hotel to Buckingham Palace?
