Prince William has reportedly demanded that Prince Andrew cooperate fully with authorities investigating allegations tied to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Sources claim the Prince of Wales has lost patience with his uncle's refusal to speak to the FBI, and wants the royal family to stop shielding him from scrutiny.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied allegations of sexual abuse linked to his association with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. However, Prince William reportedly believes that if his uncle has nothing to hide, he should answer investigators' questions without hesitation, and that continued resistance only deepens suspicion, according to a source quoted by Heatworld.

Prince William 'At the End of His Rope'

A source told Heatworld that Prince William wants Prince Andrew to be more transparent, and has called for him to share key details that could establish his innocence if he has nothing to conceal. The Prince of Wales has reportedly made his frustration known within royal circles.

'He's outraged that Andrew has been dragging his feet over speaking to the FBI, and he's demanding he cooperate fully with authorities and let the truth come out, wherever it leads. In William's view, if there's nothing to hide, then there should be no hesitation in answering questions or cooperating with investigators, including overseas,' the source said.

The source also claimed Prince William does not understand why King Charles moved Prince Andrew to a royal property after evicting him from Royal Lodge. Prince William reportedly views the relocation as an indirect form of protection for his uncle, and has questioned whether it sends the wrong message about accountability.

Prince Andrew's Questionable Decisions

Beyond his ties to Epstein, Prince Andrew has faced scrutiny over his sale of Sunninghill Park, his former home, to a billionaire from Kazakhstan. Reports have questioned the source of the funds used to purchase the property, adding to concerns about Prince Andrew's judgement and the circles he has moved in.

'William feels like every time he turns around, there's another story that makes the whole situation look even murkier. He's furious that Andrew keeps insisting he's innocent yet refuses to do the one thing that would actually help his case, which is to cooperate fully,' the source said.

The accumulation of controversies has reportedly left Prince William concerned about the long-term damage to the monarchy's reputation, particularly as he prepares for his future role as king.

Back in the Dating Scene

Despite the ongoing controversy, Prince Andrew has reportedly been considering returning to the dating scene. A source told Closer that the father of two has been thinking about dating again after his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, expressed her own intention to date.

'He's even talking about how he wants to get back to dating,' the source said.

'The royals will be relieved to see him go, but they'll also be worrying about what he might get up to once he's off and operating completely on his own terms. Instead of lying low and accepting some consequences like they'd hoped, he's doubling down on the same arrogance that landed him here in the first place,' the source shared.

Prince Andrew has not publicly discussed dating in recent years, and there is no independent confirmation of the claims.
