Prince William was not drawn on questions about his disgraced uncle while in Brazil for the fifth anniversary of his environmental award, the Earthshot Prize.
Prince William took a thinly-veiled swipe at his now-disgraced uncle while he was interviewed during a Q&A session in Brazil, where he’s celebrating the fifth anniversary of his environmental award, the Earthshot Prize.
The Prince of Wales is yet to be directly drawn on the scandal about Andrew Mountbatten Windsor while answering questions from journalists in what is his first trip to the country.
During a ‘fireside’ chat, Prince William was quizzed by Christiane Amanpour, and told journalists “who want to do good.” William refused to be brought into conversation in what was likely a veiled swipe to his disgraced uncle, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
Instead, he focused on the Earthshot Prize, and said: “I think the Earthshot Prize is a classic example of change. These people in here are the true action heroes of our time. Change will come by backing them, not by what I do.”
William added: “I want to surround myself with people who want to make change and do good in the world.”
Royal experts applauded Prince of Wales for not commenting on Andrew in public. One insider said: “Unlike Harry, William doesn’t air the family laundry in public.”
During the chat, William discussed the planet, and the future for young people around the globe, as per The Sun.
He said: “You have to provide leadership and a vision that there’s good things to come and it’s not all negative.
“And for my children, particularly, knowing that the planet’s going to be in a better, healthier state because of the people in this room is something I love to tell them when they go to bed.
“It’s going to be great, your future is going to be as bright as futures gone by and that’s a really important message for all us to hear. A world without hope and a world without positivity is a pretty depressing place.”
It comes as disgraced Andrew Windsor will live out his exile in a highly secured Arabian palace, it has been claimed. The former Prince has been stripped of his titles and kicked out of his Royal Lodge home due to his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The late Queen’s second son will now by personally accommodated by King Charles in an unconfirmed home on Sandringham estate. However, ‘randy Andy’ is now so hated in the UK royal experts believe he will leave Britain.
