Prince Andrew also went to the British royal family’s Christmas event a few days ago. Judging from the video at the time, except for his younger brother Prince Edward who chatted with him for a few words, other members of the royal family, including his two daughters and sons-in-law, did not speak to him, but kept a certain distance from Prince Andrew. Some people say that Charles should not invite him, which is easily offended. But I tend to think that Andrew had to go there on his own.
Although some people will compare Harry and Meghan with Prince Andrew, they actually belong to completely different categories. No matter how much trouble Harry and Meghan make, it's just a matter of different stances. They themselves have done nothing bad. And Prince Andrew’s behavior is truly illegal.
Moreover, it can be said that Harry and Meghan are now living completely on their own, while Prince Andrew still lives in the royal house and receives a royal salary every month.
When Elizabeth was still there, she helped cover up Prince Andrew a lot. This was one of the few black spots on Elizabeth, but after all, she had a deep love for protecting calves, so although people were dissatisfied with Elizabeth at the time, it was understandable.
Since Elizabeth's death, Andrew has lost someone who can "protect" him. Personally speaking, due to the large age gap, Charles and his younger brother Prince Andrew have no relationship. Therefore, people also hope that Prince Charles can better "educate" this younger brother, and hope that Andrew will no longer appear in public as a prince.
But judging from his behavior after taking the throne, although Charles restricted Andrew's various behaviors, such as abolishing Prince Andrew's security and closing Prince Andrew's office in Buckingham Palace . Charles does not seem to want to publicly break up with Prince Andrew, nor does he completely ban Prince Andrew from participating in royal activities.
Whether this is because the royal family wants to protect Prince Andrew, or whether there are other unavoidable reasons, may not be known for the time being. But among the crowds waiting for the royal family, no one wants to see Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew's presence is like a thorn. Although it can be ignored, it still makes people feel uncomfortable.
Although Prince Andrew has not said anything bad about the royal family, he has had a much greater negative impact on the royal family than Harry and Meghan. If members of the royal family can turn a blind eye to Prince Andrew, pretend that the problem does not exist, and allow Prince Andrew to still appear in royal activities, then Harry and Meghan should not be banned from returning to the royal family and participating in royal activities.
After all, pretending to be deaf and mute and maintaining dignity are what the royal family members are best at. Prince Andrew can do it, why can't Harry and Meghan?
