Buckingham Palace “failed to understand the magnitude” of the belief problem with Andrew and is simply putting it in good PR cracks, york biograms.
Andrew Loowhie, who published a book earlier this year Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, his ex-wife, said the king would have remained strong and acted much sooner.
He said Buckingham Palace was put under pressure to operate by the Government, which had had enough after years of inactivity.
“I think this is just window dressing,” Mr Lownie told the Telegraph. “I think it’s fudge, it’s all symbolic and nothing much changes.”
He said the king should have removed his brother’s titles altogether, rather than just allow him to place them in Abeyance. He said he had to find a way to remove him from the Royal Lodge, his main home in Windsor, and forced the prince to share with his authorities about Jeffrey Epstein, a pedophile sex trafficker, who was finally exposed.

The royal historian also said that the king should have announced it himself, showing that he had taken the lead rather than allowing the officer to make a decision for the good of the country,
“The truth is he continues to deny these allegations,” said Mr Lownie in Prince Andrew.
“The statement should have come from Charles. He should have said, ‘Look, I talked to him, we sorted out the problem, we are frustrated with what happened.
“Instead, Andrew is allowed to say ‘I decided this and that’ when he didn’t decide anything.”
He said Prince Andrew’s claim that he was standing on the sidelines was “ridiculous” as he was fired more than five years ago. “It’s just words, I think the palace must be in another world,” said Mr Lownie.

Royal is portrayed as an arrogant, sexist womizer who once dismissed his position for his own gain.
Mr Lownie insists there is more to come.
“This is just the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “I think the palace is worried about the new allegations that will come out, they know that there are more damaging things to come.”
In 2023, it emerged that the York family had received a series of payments of around £1.4m from Selman Turk, who had been a sinker accused of stealing another £40mil.
At that time, among many opaque business deals involving yorks who were “paid” more than $ 500,000 was paid to Sarah Ferguson to be Chinese, where he was director between 2017 and 2019.
Mr Lownie added: “Neither Sarah nor Andrew ever explained any of their dealings with Epsterin. They didn’t explain what Selman Turk was giving them, what Selman travel was paying for…
When the announcement that the Department Andrew had agreed not to use his qualifications, he said: “I think people will hear that we did not pay a penalty for what he did.
“There has never been an apology to anyone for those who suffered, it’s just trying to separate them. It’s just a way of trying to fix things, to satisfy this coming from the Government.
“At that time, Andrew gets to live as he has always done. Nothing will change for him. He still has pay, doy, doy, he will still be getting money, quietly, as he will do.”
‘An Opportunity to Promote Tumors’
He added to the palace: “This was a real opportunity to bark boils but all who have done it have been enlightened in its corner.
“There’s a lot more that can be done if they really want to deal with it, but they’re just trying to kill the current headlines – a bit of mud for the big problem.
“Everyone said it’s great, and the festival is open and accountable and responsive, but this is just a joke.”
