- Prince William is reportedly frustrated that he can't speak out more following Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest.
- William's disgraced uncle was arrested for "suspicion of misconduct in public office."
- The heir to the throne is worried about his father's health amid the scandal.
Prince William revealed he's not in a "calm state" at the 2026 BAFTAs last night, a candid remark that comes just days after his disgraced uncle's arrest. And now sources are spilling about William's frustration over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor causing continued drama when he's king.
"William is frustrated because it’s still likely to be a problem on his plate when he eventually becomes King," a source tells the Daily Mail. "I’m sure the Prince and Princess of Wales have been itching to say something publicly to distance themselves but they have to be cautious because of the police investigation. I think William and Kate are acutely aware that this is a scandal that won’t be going away for a long time. It’s a mess left by Andrew and the late Queen and, although His Majesty is very much in charge, William is frustrated."
Another insider notes that "Obviously William is not feeling calm and he would have spoken on behalf of them both. It’s a terrible situation and they are very concerned about the health of the King and the impact this will be having on him. He is exhausted and it's draining for him. Also as parents of young children, to be reading all of this is pretty awful and they are clearly concerned. William let this slip out last during a conversation and he would have done that on purpose, that is very clear. But Catherine has kept very quiet."
In case you missed his comments, William was asked about Hamnet on the BAFTAs red carpet, and said "I need to be in quite a calm state and I am not at the moment. I will save it."
